Hi all,
I'm a new Mac user so please bear with me...
I just bought a late 2013 iMac with High Sierra preloaded, a 120GB SSD and a 1TB HDD.
I was keen to dual boot Windows 10 so i made a thumbdrive iso and followed the bootcamp instructions.
I made a second partition for windows on the SSD (alongside OSX) but had problems with the Windows installer saying "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one". I tried removing any extra USBs etc then found some advice which recommended deleting the "Bootcamp" partition and creating it again which I tried without success. Loading back into OSX and bootcamp was now saying that the SSD had partitions created by a different utility (windows I guess) and it couldn't repartition. I went into Disk Utility and tried erasing the partition/merging but the minus sign is greyed out. I now have a partition I can't get rid of!
The Mac is basically unused so if its easiest to do some kind of hard reset then I'm happy to do that. If anyone could walk me through restoring the partitions and/or dual loading windows it'd be much appreciated. I'm a bit new to this level of work so detail would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
