Well, M$ wants you to use their product and no others so they do not have a partition resizing function. So, but up gparted and resize your ubuntu partition, create an NTFS in the free space and install there. Of course, at that point you will run into MBR issues since M$ overrights any MBR. Look up dual booting to get around that. I have worked around that before but cannot remember for the life of me.

Put XP on your first partition or you may have problems dual booting.
