Boot Camp error. Hard drive issues.

I did that last night. Also added "diskutil cs <UUID>" ( not knowing that it was going to split the SSD from my HHD) But if bootcamp would finally work it would be worth it. Sadly same problem as before. This stuff is over my head. IMO, apple should fix their own mistakes. If I wanted to learn DOS I would of bought a PC. lol!

Any help would be appreciated. This computer never had bootcamp installed on it. I was using Parallels until they wanted me to buy an upgrade, So been attempting to install boot camp for about 6 months? A year? I forgot. Boot camp assistant, at the "allocation of space" page. where it shows the partition slider. It's stuck at 0gb. Trying to slide adjuster doesn't work. But if I click on it or use mouse scroll wheel it will show "20gb" partition for bootcamp, (no more no less) even though I have 330gb's free... When I proceed with the install, 22 seconds later I get "Your disk could not be partitioned" error message.

Do I need to be doing this booted up in 'command+shift+R'?

Be careful with the following command. It will create a 1.5TB Bootcamp, which you may not want. There is another active discussion which is similar to yours. Please see Retina iMac 3tb Fusion drive Boot Camp failure.

If you want to, you can try the DU split trick before you try splitting the upper half of the HDD into a BC partition.
