Hello,

Always something, I guess. Sr. Citizen now, and not too sharp with this stuff.

Would sure appreciate some help as what I should do next ?

I did the install of Bootcamp via the Bootcamp Assistant, and all seemed
to be going quite well.

But-

It got up to the Windows Setup (after entering the Lic Key; I used the same one as I used for Parallels)
and then this msg. came up:

"Windows cannot locate the disk and partition specified in the unattend answer files <ImageInstall>
Setting.

Make sure the settings references a valid partition and Restart The Installation"

What do I do now ?

And, commensurate with your answers, how do I get back to the point
where it hung up and the msg. appeared ?

*Do I have to go back and re-do all of Bootcamp Assistant (the partition and everything else seemed to be done fine)
or can I just "correct" from this Windows msg., somehow, and move on ?

If so, how do I get to this point ? (very specific instructions would really be great; thanks)

If I do have to start again from the very beginning, I think there is a Restore/Remove Button that comes up.
Which would I choose ? Why ?

BTW: What do you think I may have, as usual, done incorrectly ? Would like to learn.

As always, thanks so much for help; greatly appreciated,

Bob

Hello again,

-What type of Windows installer are you using - ISO, disc, etc?
-Windows 7, 10, etc?
-Do you have enough free disk space?

I am not very well-versed with installing Windows via Boot Camp. Sounds like it can't find the Windows installer ISO image/disc.

Hi,

Plenty of HD space.
Running an iMac desktop

Downloaded the iso image, and have it on my desktop.

Would like to install, via Bootcamp, W10

Thanks for help.
