Question #77500 on grub in ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+question/77500

Tom proposed the following answer:
Almost all your drive is being used by Windows.  We have crammed Ubuntu
into a very small space and it's only certain parts of this small space
that's full.  You could use a LiveCd session to resize Windows down by
quite a lot from the end - and then expand the extended partition and
then expand the linux partitions that are at the end of the drive.  This
is likely to be a whole lot faster than the 2hours it took to take a bit
of space off the front of Windows.

The main problem we have now is that we haven't sorted out the 1 problem
but are introducing others so the whole situation is getting over
complex.  It would be better to just explore Ubuntu as it is and attempt
to fix the problem of booting into Windows.  Although i would recommend
getting Wesnoth if you have enough room for it - unless you prefer fps'

Anyway
Good luck and regards again from
Tom :)
