Boot Recovery, erase the entire storage device, repartition, restore your macOS backup, then use Boot Camp again.


That’s this:




Re-partitioning can end badly and mixing operating systems doesn’t always end well, and that re-partitioning is something I’d only attempt with backups of everything; of all partitions with user data. I’d also prefer to have a bootable installer available.

Many thanks , much appreciated
Then the other option to run windows on MAc is by virtualization utilizing some kind of software
Do you have any recommendation for this ?
Some of those programs are paid, any free ones ?


The Broadcom VMware desktop emulators are free, as are some other fine choices.


Microsoft Windows is not part of the local expertise, however.

Many thanks once again MrHoffman, appreciated

The idea is i wanted to install windows on mac to run a special program related to my work, and it is not working on Mac, so i needed it urgent for education material purpose

So it needed to install windows utilizing bootcamp and partioning , that is where it comes where i found out those errors on the Mac.

i will give a try to Broadcom VMmare as you advised and thanks again

Within Disk Utility click "View" and select "Show All Devices" so that the hidden Container appears on the left pane of Disk Utility. Select the hidden Container and run First Aid on it as described in the error message you posted. Scanning the Container will also automatically scan all of the APFS volumes within that Container. Plus the Container has some things that need to be scanned that is not part of any volume which is what the error message is basically saying.
