Run your Win7 VM, go to Administrative tools » Computer Management » Disk Management. I have a 100 "System Partition", a 79.90 GB "C:\" partition, and a 20 GB unallocated space. Right-click on the "C:\" partition » Extend Volume... » the default remaining 20480 comes up as pre-selected. Finish the wizard, my "C:\" partition became 99.90 GB. As expected...
Option 2: GParted
Upon starting GParted (gparted-live-0.28.1-1-i686.iso) shows the following partitions:

Right-click on /dev/sda2 » Resize/Move » drag till the end, until you have:
- Free space preceding (MiB): 0,
- New size (MiB): 102299,
- Free space following (MiB): 0.

I don't really like the message that your "ntfs-3g" is not loaded. No kidding it can't read your NTFS partition, that part is missing, I don't know why. What did you download? From where?
