Hello James,
Thanks for your response.
_Trying to do?_
Setting up a new computer with dual boot XP and Ubuntu. I want a
separate partition to store all of my data from both systems. I want
that partition to be accessible from both XP or Ubuntu depending on
which system I happen to be working in. If I happen to be working on a
Windows file in Ubuntu I want to be updated in it's native form. I am
aware that I will not be able to access Linux files in XP - and don't
want to do that.
The object of the exercise is to aid my full transition to Ubuntu.
_The problems I am having?_
I am having trouble deciphering the partition information. I saw that
there are 3 partitions. I have one for Ubuntu. I have another for
Windows. The dual boot process is working fine. I simple don't know
what/how to create/convert a 3rd partition for data storage. Is the
"extended" partition likely to be an unallocated virtual drive?

Please:
1. Interpret the partition information in the attached file.
2. Do I already have a free partition that I can adapt to pool data
files created and accessible to Ubuntu and Windows, as the case may be.
What steps from here to achieve that?
3 Is there a better product to use for partitioning?

It would help if you told us what problems you're experiencing. What I see
looking at your partition table is you're likely triple booting the system
with winxp or higher (the ntfs partition) and 2 linux OS's, plus you have an
extended partition.
What are you trying to do and what problems are you running into
