Well you could boot a live cd and mount your hard drive. Then you can use gparted to expand the size of your main ext3 partiiton to the size you want.

Have you a single hard-disk with windows NTFS + EXT3 partition...?

if yes

first, using windows, do a scandisk on the windows ntfs partition.

Then using Ubuntu live cd open the System->Administration->Partition editor menu item

resize the Windows partition (low size)

and then

resize the ext3 partition (more size)

"Partition editor" -> (gparted) after single operation close itself please reopen it.
