Bootcamp crash while creating new partition

Hi All,

I unfortunately had a system crash while installing windows 10 with Bootcamp. System locked up and had no option other than to turn off my mac. I tried to install Windows again and I now get and error and it falls over when the install process gets to the "creating partition" stage. The message is "Your Disk cannot be partitioned", "Please run disk utility to check and fix the error".

I have tried running disk utility to no avail. There is only on partition available "Macintosh HD" and I have run "first aid" as per disk utility with no success. The repair option is greyed out.

If anyone could shed some light on the matter I would be of that would be fantastic. Thanks.

Brad
