1. Install Windows normally (For you, *always* install Windows first. 
That is a rule that you should not deviate from.)

2. When finished, boot to Ubuntu and follow the instructions for dual 
boot.  I normally use QTParted (or equiv), but I think I remember some 
stuff on the normal Ubuntu boot live CD.

3. When finished and your boot menu works (grub configured or whatever), 
then use whatever tool you're most familiar with to partition your data 
section.  If in Windows, use something like Partition Magic.  If you 
have, say, a Knoppix CD, then you can use QTParted on that.  The point 
is, (a) use whatever you're most comfortable with, and (b) make sure you 
know the pros and cons of file systems (e.g. FAT vs NTFS), because if 
you pick one, you're wedded to its way of doing things, for better or worse.

HTH!
