I also expected a google search to tell you tons about what's out there and searching for "ubuntu repartition" gets you what you want as the 4th item in the list. who would have thought you'd been using Linux for 10 years. ;-) As you must have figured out by now, there are a few options. My favorite is typically a handy Knoppic CD where I'll either boot to the GUI and use qparted or if I'm in a hurry, I'll go to runlevel 2 and use parted since it is the CLI powerhouse behind qparted. You probably also know to do as Carl mentioned and defrag before reparitioning to get the best/fastest results. but Wubi is still the easiest, fastest, and safest way to go. Nothing is 100% but repartitionging is more "dangerous" than a Windows installer program like Wubi.
