I have a large 4TB SSD from OWC installed on my Mac Pro (late 2013). All is well.
Sierra 10.12.4

I now need to add a boot camp dual boot to windows 7. I tried to run the boot camp assistant which then promptly failed. I do not recall the exact error, but I needed to use the Boot camp enabler from OWC. I did this.

Then BCA got past that error message, but now told me that the "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition". I then followed the instruction from OWC to create the partition with disk utility. That was quite straight forward. However ,when I run boot camp assistant again, it only offers the option to delete this partition and reset all to one Big Mac OS partition.

I tried this a few times but the results are the same.

Is there a manual way to do this boot camp installation without the non-working assistant?

Please, any help/ideas are welcome
