I have a similar situation and I didn't bother to touch Vista. I just run linux in a vmware session.

In vista we have the option to shrink C drive(No data loss or damage),after doing that u will get new partition then install ubuntu on it.

steps to shrink C drive :

open computer management by right click on my computer and select "manage"

select "disk management" in the left panel and right click on C drive in right panel and select shrink. Now C drive will become half of the drive size after click ok.Now install on new partition.

Arrow Use the WUBI, Luke
You can easily install Ubuntu in a dual-boot configuration by using WUBI (Wubi - Ubuntu Installer for Windows). Your choice: Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu.
