Resizing Drive With Snapshots

I want to resize my Windows 7 guest but I am reading that it's not possible to that if there are snapshots. That's my situation. How can I get around this? Can I merge the snapshot? Or rollback to to the snapshot? Or something else? Or is it impossible?

Probably the best way is to clone the current state which will include the complete guest including all snap shots and then resize the clone.
This way the original will remain intact until you have a good working guest and then you can decide what you want to do with the original.

Cloning worked great. I cloned it, expanded using 'modifyhd', then resized the partition from within Windows.
