Option 1 - Dual Booting:

In my experience, it's better if you don't resize partitions.  If you
can start clean (new Ubuntu install + new Windows Install) you will
have better chances of success.  BACK UP YOUR DATA WHENEVER YOU PLAY
WITH PARTITIONS.

Option 2 - Virtualization
You can also use a virtual machine to run one operating system inside
of the other.  There is a variety of ways to do this, and I haven't
done any of them.  One place to start your research is VMWare
