When attempting to create a Windows partition, Boot Camp Assistant might show the alert ”Your disk could not be partitioned. An error occurred while partitioning the disk. Please run First Aid from within Disk Utility to check and fix the error.”

This does on the face of it sound like an install gone wrong or a system issue but just wanted to check if I'd done something wrong first.Can someone please help!Many thanks,Dee. Can't see sliders and X-Fader - Should have said this!Hi Rainer,Many thanks for the response. That is, they are not adjustable whilst all other FX / Volumes are working normally. I had figured that they would be unavailable in external mode for obvious reasons. Traktor pro 3 can't see faders.

Use Disk Utility to check for errors

If you're erasing the disk that your Mac started up from, start up from macOS Recovery before continuing. Or start up from a different disk. Open Disk Utility from the macOS Utilities window. You can also find it in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder. Choose View Show All Devices from the menu bar.

  1. Install the latest macOS updates.
  2. Use Disk Utility to repair your startup disk.
  3. If Disk Utility found no errors or repaired all errors, try again to use Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows.
  4. If Boot Camp Assistant still gives the partitioning error, continue to the steps below.

  2. Mar 12, 2020  Unless you intend on using the Disk Utility or Recoverit for Mac to handle the partition removal, do not install third-party software from questionable developers. If you suspect the entire hard drive is compromised, you can use the 'First Aid' feature of the Disk Utility.

Check for unallocated free space

  1. Open Disk Utility, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
  2. In the Disk Utility sidebar, select the name of your internal disk, container, or volume, such as Macintosh HD.
  3. Click Partition in the toolbar.
  4. If you see a message about Apple File System space sharing, click Partition to confirm that you want to partition instead of add a volume.
  5. If the pie chart shows a section labeled ”Free space,” click to select it. ”Free space” should now also appear in the Partition Information shown on the right.
  6. After selecting the ”Free space” section of the chart, click the remove (–) button beneath the chart. Removing this unallocated free space makes that space available for your use again. Then click Apply and quit Disk Utility.
  7. Try again to use Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows.
  8. If Boot Camp Assistant still gives the same partitioning error, continue to the steps below.

Turn off Time Machine temporarily

If you use Time Machine with macOS Mojave or High Sierra, either upgrade to macOS Catalina 10.5 or later, or follow these steps:

  1. Open Time Machine preferences from the Time Machine menu in the menu bar. Or choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Time Machine.
  2. Deselect ”Back Up Automatically” to turn off Time Machine.
  3. Wait a few minutes, then try again to use Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows.
  4. After installation is complete, you can turn on Time Machine again.
