This is not what mpack was saying. Also, there is no need to post a screenshot, you already posted the error message. Please post the output of the command (as text, not a screenshot):
VBoxManage showhdinfo /Users/haohaizi/VirtualBox\ VMs/Windows\ 7\ 64/NewVirtualDisk1.vdi

This output seems to be from a different disk file, is shows a different user and file path.

This is in the FAQ: you can't resize fixed size drives. Read Howto: resize a virtual drive.

The error message you got is correct. Fixed is not supported. Read the manual and the FAQ.
