A good move would be to install a second harddisk (which isn't that
difficult to do) and install windows on that.  If you make the new disk
the primary disk and the existing one either secondary or slave, the
windows install should be straightforward.  Once windows is installed
you'd need a rescue disk of some sort Knoppix or possibly even your
Ubuntu install media to reinstall grub which should give you a dual
boot system.
