[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1796327, member: 83420"] Welcome, Bob. Thanks for posting. Well, I'm a geriatric so you must be a dinosaur:):D Personally, I offer little in the way of help; but one of the key questions that those wiser than I will ask is: what macOS are you running and on which model of Mac? Reason is that in macOS High Sierra if your main internal drive is a Solid State Drive, it will have been converted to Apple's File System (APFS) and this may affect how Boot Camp works. In the sincere hope that you will not take offence, as I know you have tried everything and probably be running out of patience; I'm nonetheless including Links which cover APFS and the "old" HFS+ systems. I'm sure you've done it all but........ In particular, when you restart your Mac, it is the alt/option key ONLY which you hold down - and keep holding down until this appears: [ATTACH=FULL]28316[/ATTACH] Here are the Links - just to make sure, then wiser counsel can take over. Hang in there, Bob.
