Julian,

My advice is: use a Windows tool for partition resizing, as your guest
is Windows 7 after all.
Remember that the VM you're working on is set as Windows, not Linux,
attempting to boot a Linux ISO on a guest VM configured for Windows is
asking for trouble. as you found out.

There's plenty of Windows apps to resize a partition, some of them freeware.

Ask again if you need more help...
