I'm trying to resize XP partition, the procedure suppose to be simple:
VBoxManage modifyhd /full/path/to/hd.vdi --resize new_size
so, I run:
VBoxManage modifyhd /home/joseph/VirtualBox\ VMs/xp-clinic/xp-clinic.vdi --resize 15000
0%...10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%...100%
The original size was 10G and still is.

Actually the storage is showing as 14.6GB so that is correct but when I boot windows I only see about 600Mb free disk space instead of 4+GB

Have you resized your Windows partition under Windows as well?

Stick a gparted LiveCD in the machine (or boot from an image on your drive by
pointing the virtual CDROM device to it) and extend the end of the MSWindows
partition to fill in the size of the virtual disk you just enlarged.
When you reboot into MSWindows (detach the LiveCD first) and then allow
MSWindows to run and complete chkdsk - or your data could be lost.

I just realize it, thanks. That is exactly what I did, gparted worked without a problem.
