0x80070057 error when trying to format bootcamp partition.

I'm trying to install windows 10 on my mid 2012 macbook pro. I had win 10 on the macbook previously but decided to re partition the hard drive. Big mistake.


So I've made an boot flash drive with support software, partitioned the hard drive, and booted into windows installer. I skip the product key as my hardware is already registered. I go to format the bootcamp partition and windows says they cannot format it. Error code 0x80070057. I am stumped...

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

Let us check your partitions. Please post the output of following commands from OS X Terminal.


diskutil list

diskutil cs list

sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0

sudo fdisk /dev/disk0


The "sudo" commands will prompt for your password, and it will not be echoed back. You may also see a warning about improper use of "sudo" and potential data loss due to "abuse" of the command.

If your disk repair worked, run the SMC Reset/NVRAM Reset, remove Windows, and run the BC/W10 installer again.


Please also see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2476568 . Based on your partition information, it looks clean.


Can you look at Can't resize Macintosh HD partition and look at the discussion regarding mounting EFI partition. We should look at what is in your EFI partition, because we cannot remove the SR partition as shown in the M$ link. There is a scenario where the EFI partition gets used as a SR partition as shown in the linked discussion.
