Disk cannot be partitioned Error

BCA runs till just after the partition part. It lets me choose the size I want to make it, runs a couple of minutes then I get this. This is what it has done every time I tried to install. Even after doing a clean High Sierra install on my MacBook.

It appeared it was going to let me do it, and failed while making the partition. Below is the details:

This is the error I got when trying to create a new partition for the size I want for the windows install. I am ready to drop kick my MacBook and trying to get windows on it.😕

Did the sudo and retried. It did not work. I have a TM backup done and I think I am ready to do an erase/restore. Just want to make sure I don't need to do anything different then I did last time before starting it. I think I made the mistake of restoring from TM last time before trying BCA. I will do clean install then try BCA before anything else. Any other suggestions?

I did both. I know have erased and not used TM back up and still can't get Windows 10 to load on BCA. I am in the process of downloading Sierra to try and step back and get off this new file system they have created.
