well got the image created and expanded ok, used gparted to expand the disk size fine and now I'm working on fixing Windows since it doesn't like it apparently. Keep getting a blue screen and reboot, otherwise VBox clonehd and managehd worked like a charm.

thanks for your help.

If you are mounting the cloned VDI in a new VM (which is good), then you need to make absolutely sure that all settings are the same as the old VM. Particularly important for various reasons are IDE controller type, VT-x, IO APIC setting, MAC address, RAM size.
