Windows 10 Boot Camp install won't let me install on BOOTCAMP partition on Mac Pro with SSD drive

Clean install of El Capitan, I have downloaded the Windows 10 x64 ISO and run Boot Camp installer. Once you get to the screen where you select a partition, the BOOTCAMP partition can't be installed on. If I format it and try again, still no luck. Anyone have experience with this problem or a workaround for this?

Thanks,

Patrick

Mac Pro (Late 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.1), 256 GB SSD, 12 GB RAM

kudos to Vizi0n, also thank everyone here, especially you Loner T. I tried to install windows 8, 8.1 and 10. All unsuccessfully. My solution was PRAM reset (cmd+option+r+p on mac boot, wait for second chime) when mac was in default state (only one partition not split !!!). Then I installed windows 8.1 as I was able to very first time. Important point was, after the PRAM reset, SSD (swap) was no longer visible in windows installer. Only disk0: 4 partitions:


EFI

Mac

Mac Recovery

OSXRESERVED with windows installer


goodbye endless nights
