    Are you wanting to duel boot with Windows and Ubuntu? With having an 80 GB HDD that is plenty of space to do it.
    Though I agree with abekl that easus is a good choice, Parted Magic is also a really great tool for setting up your HDD with multiple partitions.
    Once you set your partitions, then you can install windows on the first partition and set up Ubuntu on another. Now with that being said, you will be then using Grub2 as your bootloader and will be presented with a Grub menu upon boot up that will let you select Windows or Ubuntu.

    All the best,
