I would recommend making a shared FAT partition. The lowest I would go for the Ubuntu partition is 10GB, just to be safe.

Its hard to access ext3 Linux partition from Windows Me, so why not access Windows fat32 partition from within Ubuntu ?
Ubuntu can access Fat16/32, NTFS and others. -------------------- |
