by the way, as a PS to my last reply... I haven't personally tested this, but see if this works http://www.disk-partition.com/help/make-bootable-cd-wizard.html
What you need to do is use that tool to export a bootable ISO image with the partitioning software on it. Then boot the windows guest VM with THAT NEW ISO as mounted removable cd... Then work it out from the WINPE environment and the partitioning software to do the partition (NTFS) extension on the VM virtual drive that you have already enlarged.
