Q: Cant use free space. Couldn't read partition map (-69876)

Hi all,

 

 

just bought a new iMac 27" with 512 SSD. After bootcamp failed to install i did a reboot. Unfortunately bootcamp would not want to reinstall. Checking Disk Utility showed free space in the partition table. I can not delete it ( error code Couldn't read partition map (-69876)) so i'm kinda stuck now with 1 gb off free space that not allows me to use it and prevents bootcamp from installing Message:


The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows.

 

 

Around 100gb available for bootcamp but this cannot be merged to 1 disk as required...
