Bootcamp drive/partition not showing up in Windows 10 setup screen.

Question

So I&#x27;ve done the whole bootcamp process on my early 2014 11-inch macbook air running macOS Sierra latest update according to instructions in order to install Windows 10 64-bit (note that I&#x27;ve done it twice successfully before in different machines) but when I restart in Windows to do the setup I don&#x27;t see the usual "Drive 0 Partition 4: BOOTCAMP" to format and install. Also I cannot remove the Windows partition from my mac because it doesn&#x27;t show up anywhere, including the utility disk! When I run the Bootcamp app it won&#x27;t let me check the "remove windows" box as well, so what am I gonna do now? Please help me! Thanks in advance.

I&#x27;m sorry, is this what you meant with "text version"? If not, let me know what did you mean, if so, then there you go: Last login: Sat Jun 10 23:37:11 on ttys000Kas-MacBook-Air:~ KaKa$ diskutil cs listCoreStorage logical volume groups (1 found)|+-- Logical Volume Group C5543DBA-67A6-4AF6-B33F-D50EA5A45479    &#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;    Name:         Macintosh HD    Status:       Online    Size:         120472952832 B (120.5 GB)    Free Space:   34120753152 B (34.1 GB)    |    +-&lt; Physical Volume 2CDD0A5F-A271-4DE8-A18B-4057FC93897F    |   ----------------------------------------------------    |   Index:    0    |   Disk:     disk0s2    |   Status:   Online    |   Size:     120472952832 B (120.5 GB)    |    +-&gt; Logical Volume Family BA8EF8EA-84FA-4E97-9774-93418726B759        ----------------------------------------------------------        Encryption Type:         AES-XTS        Encryption Status:       Unlocked        Conversion Status:       Complete        High Level Queries:      Fully Secure        |                        Passphrase Required        |                        Accepts New Users        |                        Has Visible Users        |                        Has Volume Key        |        +-&gt; Logical Volume 3D7DCAB7-419B-477C-8D8B-7855F4AE9212            ---------------------------------------------------            Disk:                  disk1            Status:                Online            Size (Total):          85999878144 B (86.0 GB)            Revertible:            Yes (unlock and decryption required)            Revert Status:         Reboot required            LV Name:               Macintosh HD            Volume Name:           Macintosh HD            Content Hint:          Apple_HFSKas-MacBook-Air:~ KaKa$

Run the following commands in Terminal.diskutil cs resizeVolume 3D7DCAB7-419B-477C-8D8B-7855F4AE9212 0gIt should return an error and request whole disk repair. Run diskutil repairDisk disk0Reboot and check the output of diskutil cs list and check for Free Space values. You should only see a few KB/MB as the value.

Notice the line which says &#x27;Free Space - 34.1 GB&#x27;. Can you post a text version of the diskutil cs list output so I can provide the exact command you need to use?
