Bootcamp - internal error (ex- fusion drive)

Hi


I have an iMac 17,1. I've made a hardware change: upgrading the HDD to a SSD. This means I now have a fairly useless and spare ssd connected which used to be part of the fusion drive (24gb), there is nothing stored here and it has been formatted. The OS and everything is installed on my 500gb SSD


When I open BC I get 'Internal Error' when I click continue. Looking at previous questions I suspect I have an unsupported setup.


Is there anything I can do to get my setup back into a position where BC will be happy, without having to delete and reinstall OSX and all my data? Bearing in mind I would disable the spare 24gb ssd if I could, I don't need it.


Thanks for your help!
