I'm using MacBook Pro 2017 Touch Bar with macOS Sierra 10.12.6..

I've installed Windows 10 via Boot Camp. After the installation, and restarting several times, I got an error "The computer restarted unexpectedly or encounter an unexpected error Windows installation cannot proceed to install Windows, click OK to restart the computer and then restart the installation"

In my Startup Disk PrefPane it already shows both boot volumes (Windows and my Mac). In storage it already shows the Boot Camp partition (40 GB). Tried to use Disk Utility and first aid but nothing happens.

Can someone help me with these problem?

these is the output diskutil list

  • It does not appear Windows was installed properly. I would expect to see a Windows Recovery partition. You do not have one. You could try using Boot Camp Assistant to uninstall, then reinstall Windows. Feb 26, 2018 at 15:51
  • okay,, but during starting if i press and hold alt, it shows the mac and windows... also in disk utility, boot camp is already there

  • So what do you propose to do? I assume you can not boot to Windows at this point. Is that right? Feb 26, 2018 at 23:21

If use the diskutil command to delete the BOOTCAMP partition, the partitioning will change from hybrid to protective. When installing Windows, you can create a new partition for the installation of Windows. So, you do not need gdisk. Also, you do not have to disable System Integrity Protection. Enter the commands given below to delete the BOOTCAMP partition.

sudo  diskutil  unmount  disk0s4
sudo  diskutil  eraseVolume  free  n  disk0s4  

I sure hope you properly copied the Boot Camp Support Software to your USB Windows installer flash drive.

I would encourage you to also create a partition for the Windows Recovery Environment (WRE). Although, a WRE partition in not required when installing Windows.

Recommended Proceedure

This steps given below are estimated to take about a hour, but this really depends on how fast you drink coffee.

  1. Find a coffee shop with high speed internet.
  2. Buy a coffee.
  3. Erase everything on your Mac.
  4. Reinstall macOS.
  5. Enjoy the coffee.
  6. Install Windows 10.
  7. Continue to enjoy the coffee.

If you need clarification regarding any part of my answer, let me know.
