Bootcamp / computer is completely broken.
I am completely lost here I don’t know what’s happening. I am attempting to install windows using bootcamp but at first I had an issue where my disk could not be partitioned. I gave up trying to fix it so I just reset the Mac drive back to a fresh install of Mojave. It then worked but when restarting there is nothing there, holding alt shows no bootcamp drive. Bootcamp is detected in disk utility so i’m not sure what’s happening. although it says only 125mb is used which I find kinda odd (used space on the drive)
So I tried making a bootable usb, that didn’t work either and it doesn’t come up if I hold alt.
I installed rEFInd incase it was a boot issue but that doesn’t show it either.
I thought it might be an APFS issue so I reverted to Sierra. Still the same issue but it did come up on alt but then the splash screen would come up, nothing after that.

Im lost and need to get this working ASAP.
Things I have tried troubleshooting
- Resetting NVRAM
- resetting PRAM
- trying older version of windows iso (1803)
- trying different usb
- reinstalling Mac again
- multiple attempts at wiping Mac drive clean
- multiple attempts at re-trying bootcamp but it still seems to give me either a different issue each time or just does the same thing where it gives me a useless partition..
This is super frustrating I don’t know what else to try. My LCD is broken so i’m using the Mac in clamshell mode (my phone slid down the laptop and hit the flex cable, another story)
BUT this has never been an issue as I have installed multiple windows bootcamp instances over the last few months and its never been an issue.
