You have to resize the *file system* on the partition. Whether you can 
use a 'rescue CD' inside the virtualized environment, to resize your 
partitions, is an interesting question and may depend on your installed 
OS quite a bit. You can certainly resize non-'/' partitions from the 
live OS, and use such an environment to re-run grub if your boot loader 
has moved or gotten confused.
