Jan 12, 2016 11:13 AM in response to cohalonby Amilixkan,You probably don't have enough free space for the size you are selecting. Whats the size of your hard drive, how big is the Mac partition and how big you want the Windows partition?

Jan 12, 2016 11:17 AM in response to cohalonby cohalon,the HW:
Macbook pro, middle 2015, 256 GB SSD, updated to El Capitan.
Windows OS Home edition, on USB flash disk, write protected. Bought new yesterday.
I created an ISO file from the Win10 USB in the Disk Utility. The file is named WINDOWS10.iso and located in 'Documents'.
I appreciate the attention and any suggestions.

Jan 12, 2016 11:30 AM in response to cohalonby Amilixkan,Try to verify the disk and permissions in Disk Utility first and see if it encounters any problem. Does your HD possess at least 45 GB free? (32 the minimum from Windows and at least 10Gb for spare space for Mac)

Jan 12, 2016 11:33 AM in response to Amilixkanby cohalon,yes I have still above 100GB free on the mac and I even tried to give Windows more, 48GB.

Jan 23, 2016 1:21 PM in response to Amilixkanby cohalon,10 days past...
the problem was found and solved.
The ISO file was not good.
Conclusions:
1. Apple's help files for Bootcamp are not up to date. I was using bootcamp 6.0.
2. The process of how to create an ISO file from OS disk/USB, from Apple, is not up to date.
3. Windows web-sites were down that day and time (coincidental).
4. When Windows sites came back and an ISO file could be download, the problem was solved.
5. Not even Apple supporters over the "chat support" could recognise what is the wrong thing/part.
6. I think Windows10 is not good and ready yet. I will probably revert to Windows8.1 if I could.
Thanks for the help.
