bootcamp partition cannot be created

Hi All

Just looking for some help. I have tried most of the options listed here so far. I am unable to do any backups at the moment.

I am running into the problem of not being able to create a partition when attempting to install via BC Assistant.

I have tried (just to name a few);

1. disk utility (first aid on all volumes/disks)

2. disk utility in recovery (first aid on all volumes/disks)

3. /sbin/fdsk -fy in safe mode (some issues here with something I'm not familiar with)

There doesn't appear to be any unknown volumes/disks appearing but here is the output of diskutil
