Follow the below steps:
Now you can boot into ubuntu live CD and use that space to install the OS.
I'm assuming you know how to manually partition the space to install the OS.
Your partition table (provided it is MS-DOS) has already 4 primary partitions. This means that even if you shrink a volume, you cannot create a new partition to install ubuntu, because the MS-DOS partition table does not support more than 4 primary partitions. The most reasonable solution here, is to create an extended partition that will hold your DATA and the Ubuntu installation.
