Thanks for the update! Hopefully this will help the engineers work on a fix to make it more stable for all. (and better error messages)

So I erased the partition and went ahead with boot camp assistant. This time it ran further but started to run really slow once it started to create the partition. It got about 3/4 of the way through then gave me the same error message. So it’s back with the engineers at Apple they seem to be completely stumped as well. So frustrating

Hey Sarah, how are you reinstalling Sierra? You tried using the internet recovery method above with formatting the whole internal disk (not just the partition). If you have, the best advise I have is to keep talking with the Apple care guys, if anyone can help, it’s them.

If you get it working please let us know here, to help others.

Tried to run bootcamp. kept getting the error message. have been working with apple care senior advisor wiping my hard drive and reinstalling high Sierra 3/4 times now. I do not, no have I ever had time machine turned on. extremely frustrating, I would love to hear if any one else has any ideas. Thank you,

Go back home and ask your mother to teach you the manners she so clearly forgot to impart. What a childish, selfish post.

Maybe you should fix your own problems in the future rather than complaining about other people just trying to help you.

Hey Saif, Thank you for the nice feedback. Knowing that it’s at least helped one person makes writing the article worth it.
