Vista lets you shrink the partition. I think that is the best thing to do. I
had tried with Gparted as well, but I goofed up somewhere, I don't know
whether it was because of the NTFS Fstype issue.
The best thing is to shrink the partition from Vista  and then create a new
partition via the partition editor as part of the the Ubuntu install
process.
