First make backups of everything of any value from both your Vista and 
Ubuntu partitions. If you play with your partitions you never know what 
desaster will happen.

I suppose your Vista partition is now bigger than 20 GB. Then I think the 
best way would be to use the Vista partitioning program to reduce the 
Vista partition. Then boot with a Ubuntu Live CD. From the CD use the 
Ubuntu partitioning program gparted to increase the Ubuntu partition 
size.

BTW: Next time please start a new thread instead of hijacking an existing 
thread, i.e. don't reply to a message but start a new one. That way more 
people will read your question and it is more likely to get an answer.
