A 20 GB partition is plenty. I have Windows XP Pro installed right now, with all the latest updates taking up about 6 GBs.

Yeah, though I don't have SP3, I do have all the updates that SP3 came with. So I think 20 should be fine, if that is all you are going to install.

If not, just be sure to choose a different partition for your other applications when you install them.

If not you could do,

20 GB partition:
OS
Office
some file space

XX GB Partition:
Files
Documents
Etc.
