I have begun reading the documentation, and there in lies my problem. I'm unable to get bootcamp assistant to create a windows partition on the hard disc. It says there's not enough space. With a 128 GB SSD, I'm not sure why this error is occurring. Due to my research, I thought partitioning the disc would be a fix. Apparently, this is not the case. Thank you.
