Hello all! I'm really hoping someone can help so I can avoid having to lug this thing 2 hours to the closest Apple store.

I just received a 27" Late 2015 iMac with a 3GB fusion drive and wanted to set up a Boot Camp partition of just over 400GB. I downloaded the Windows 10 ISO and started the Boot Camp assistant, pointed it to the ISO, selected the intended partition size, and started it. Four hours later it was still sitting stuck halfway on 'Partitioning' (and everything else on the machine was running sooooooooo sloooooow).

FileVault is not on, and all software/firmware was up to date prior to starting this.

So, I gave up and rebooted, then opened the Boot Camp assistant and told it to restore the single OS X partition, which then failed. Disk Utility at this point is showing the 3TB drive at 2.6TB and no other partitions. I then rebooted to the Internet Recovery mode, ran first aid on the drive and the Macintosh HD partition and it's still showing the incorrect size. Even when I went to the Partition tab to see if I could just flatten it (I do have a good Time Machine backup) the whole drive is showing incorrect. Help?
