Use Disk Utility to check for errors

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

Check for unallocated free space

Mar 13, 2007 I installed Boot Camp with just the keyboard drivers, which enables the function keys to work, but the Windows and Alt keys are still swapped (the Command key works as the Windows key and the Option key as Alt). I read somewhere that from the Boot Camp control panel you can make them swap, but every time I try to start it I get this error.

Open Disk Utility, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
In the Disk Utility sidebar, select the name of your internal disk, container, or volume, such as Macintosh HD.
Click Partition in the toolbar.
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.
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.
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.
Try again to use Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows.
If Boot Camp Assistant still gives the same partitioning error, continue to the steps below.
