You can increase VirtualBox Version 4+ hard drive size by using command line.
Use the following command from Program Files folder:-
"VBoxManage.exe modifyhd "location of virtual drive.vdi" --resize 25000(new size in mb)
Example :-
C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage.exe modifyhd "C:\VM\Windows 7 x64\Windows 7 x64.vdi" --resize 25000
Result will look like the following :-
0%...10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%...100%
That should expand the drive size but you have to increase the partition size from the OS.
Note: If you have snapshots then you have to delete them otherwise this won't work. I am trying to figure out if we can do without deleting the snapshots. I got some very clean snapshots which I don't want to lose.
