Windows 10 won't install after disk formatting in the installer

Hi all,


I have been trying to install Windows 10 on my 27" 4K with fusion drive running 10.11.4. I followed the step-by-step procedure with Bootcamp Assistant. I have my UBS Windows 10 install prepared, latest updates for Bootcamp and portioned the drive to 100GB. I did this numerous times and can't get pass formatting the Bootcamp partition with in the Windows installer. Each time I click next after format, it say "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information see the Setup log files".


I can't get past this point after 10 attempts. We time going back to the Bootcamp Assistant removing the partition and creating another. I made a mistake and click the Delete in the Windows installer, think it might allow me to create a new one...and I lost 100GB from my drive..puff.


Help?!!

Your screen shot shows Drive 3. You should only have Drive 0 and Drive 1 for a fusion drive. What is Drive 3?


If your Mac is a 2015 or later model, you do not need a USB.


The Windows ISO must be on your Mac, not on an external disk for all Macs which can use an ISO. 2012 and later models can use an ISO.


Please disconnect all external storage and external hubs, run the following two procedures...

... and retry BC Assistant again.
