I think there are 2 points of confusion
1. In Europe a comma is often used in places
where in the US a period would be used
298,1 GB == 298.1 GB
2. The original post used a > when a < was probably intended
The restrictions is that you have to have the first partition > 127,99 GB
probably was intended to be
The restrictions is that you have to have the first partition < 127,99 GB
or in US-speak
The restrictions is that you have to have the first partition < 127.99 GB
Hope I got these right :-)
