20 GB should be more than enough space. Using an XP system with a 20 GB drive (actually a virtual system on VMPlayer), I manually shrank my XP partition to 10GB, then created a swap partition equal to my RAM size (2 GB) at the end of the disk, then used the middle 8 GB as the ext3fs to put gOS into. That worked fine. I did have a similar problem with a version of Ubuntu, it had some magic number for contiguous physical disk size that seemed way above the system requirements...
Have you tried shrinking your XP partition a bit? Also, do you only have one XP partition, or is it split into logical drives (C:, D:)?
