Recently my company forced a roll out of SafeBoot. The problem is that I was using Ubuntu under Wubi. Since the whole drive is encrypted now, I can't boot into Ubuntu. I was hoping to create a new partition for Ubuntu so I could still use it. I know there are partition tools available, but I've never used one on an encrypted disk. Are programs like Partition Magic or a free one like EASEUS safe to use on an encrypted HDD?

No, a partition resizer must actually modify the underlying file system. Because the drive is encrypted, you would need a 'SafeBoot' aware partition resizer. I don't know of any.

I have the exact same situation. After a long search I found its not possible to resize an encrypted partition.
I am using an external harddisk / Flash Drive for ubuntu. After changing the boot sequence in the bios its possible now to dual boot ubuntu and windows.
Running from Thumb drive, Ubuntu's Speed is not very bad either.
