In reply to Sarah Amaral. 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)

Update on the advise of Apple, I ran first aid today on the hard drive the tried to partition from disk Utility and It worked. 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

In reply to Sarah Amaral. 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.

I have a brand new iMac with nothing at all on the hard drive. 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,

In reply to Boca. 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.

In reply to Saif Younes. Hey Saif, Thank you for the nice feedback. Knowing that it's at least helped one person makes writing the article worth it.

you are the best man it worked perfectly for me I don’t usually respond to solutions, this is my first, I went and took an appointment with the genius bar, they didn’t know how to solve this problem, they told me to fucking back up my laptop and come back and that alone was a shit ton of time wasting, so thank you again
