I have a small concern with the length of that template ? It certainly
fits on a regular screen but, as often, translations might be longer
and 3-paragraph templates can very rapidly exceed the critical size.
Maybe slightly shorter:
Entering "max" will use the entire disk. The size can also be
specificed as a precentage (such as "20%").

Another minor concern: these "Please try again" give the feeling this
is a trial-and-error game and I'm indeed never comfortable when I find
such sentences in error templates.
As, anyway, the user will be re-prompted for the size, why not just
drop that sentence?
Apart from that, great idea...as usual..:-)
