1TB 5k iMac issue with Bootcamp

Sorry about that, was not meant to be a rant about anything Apple did poorly or anything. Just searching for some empathy.

this is my first time posting on these forums so excuse me if i come across as a bit ignorant because, when it comes to them i am.

I am using bootcamp, it partitions the drive for me. when it reboots into windows i see 4 different drives, one of which says drive 0 partition 4 : bootcamp.

At the bottom it says "drive must be formatted to ntfs", this is where i am stuck because i would assume that bootcamp would have done this for me..HAve you ever seen anything like this? (if this is the wrong forum to post in, could you direct me to the right one?).

thanks Friend!.

That would be great!! thank you so much 🙂

i would really appreciate that.

thank you 🙂

Thanks for the reply my friend!

So i have tried this and once i do this it gives me another error. "cannot find partition or volume" something like that.

i forgot to mention i am using a 1TB fusion.

let me try this, give me a few.

i am logging in through my phone to my mac at home (i am at work for the next hour 😝)

actually, i just realized i turned it off before i left.

i will answer in about 2 hours. hope thats ok!.

Here you go! hope this helps...
