I posted a small article about how to use GParted to achive this a while ago: Howto: Expand VM boot partition. From what I hear, the ExtPart utility will let you do this inside a running VM, but I haven’t tested that yet.

I’ve found that using Converter to perform a “hot” V2V conversion is a completely reliable way to resize volumes. It allows for a pretty solid path of retreat.
In the past I’ve used diskpart and gparted but found that it can be easy to make a mistake. The Converter method seems rather bulletproof.
