bootcamp not letting me resize partition

Hi,


I have a mac mini, (Mac mini (Late 2012)) and I am trying to install windows on it. I have high sierra installed and when I run Bootcamp I cannot resize the partition. I want to split it 50/50 but it first comes up with -8GB. If I click on the windows partition it jumps to 48GB but if I hit divide equally it goes back to -8gb. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?


Thanks in advance.

Much better. Connect your USB2 installer, reboot the 2012 Mini, and hold Alt/Option key and select the Windows icon from the USB. It should start the legacy Windows installer. Select the GPT4/MBR4 partition and try to install Windows. If you see any errors, please post the exact error message or a screen shot, if possible.
