Can you find anything that is taking up a lot of space? Video? Audio?
Could you try moving it to the XP drive and free up some space - Linux
file systems tend to reserve 5% so your drive is essentially full.
I've no idea what happens when Ubuntu runs out of space, but I can't
see it being good.

Try Applications, Disk Usage Analyser (press Scan Home) and see if it
turns up anything interesting.
