Make a backup of valuable data before doing anything.
Boot on an Ubuntu CD or USB stick, and choose "Try" instead of "Install".
Then select System->Administration->Gparted.
Resize NTFS partiton to make space, and allocate new space to current ext4 partition.
If you have Windows 7, you can resize NTFS partition while running Windows, which is safer than using Gparted to resize Windows file system.
