Just use the install cd from whatever OS you are installing.

Download a copy of the Ubuntu OS and burn it to a disk.

You will be able to boot the OS without installing it.

Live Boot the OS from the CD and click on "System, Administration, Partition Editor".

You'll be able to resize and create a partition.

BE CAREFUL. You could easily wipe out your OS.
