    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

    Please run a Disk Utility Repair and and SMC Reset - Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support and 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.
