You can ask your question in the Boot Camp forum. Click Boot Camp for the shortcut to get there.
Please post the output of the following commands from OSX Terminal. Enter your password for sudo commands, it will not be echoed back to you. I assume you have only one physical disk.
diskutil list
diskutil cs list
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
like this
Guy-Johnsons-IMAC-Mac-G5:~ guyjohnson$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0

Please run a Disk Utility Repair and and SMC Reset - Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Supportand try Bootcamp Assistant again. You can also check Application -> Utilities -> Console logs for any disk errors or if BCA fails, since you have a 3TB disk.

Please eject and remove this disk before you try Bootcamp/Windows installation.
I have no other disk either external or internal plugged in.
