    I would recommend looking into using UnetBootin and GParted to partition the harddrives. http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ and http://gparted.sourceforge.net/. You will need unetbootin because you cannot partition a HD while mounted. So these websites will give you step by step instructions on downloading and using their software. – ryekayo Jun 12 '14 at 18:00

If you are ready for reinstallation of the whole system you have an option of merging both ext4 File systems so that you atleast have 33 GB free Space on which you can smoothly run Ubuntu.

For installation help please read this -https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
