I am getting an error while trying to resize System Partition for Windows 2003 Server (this is a VM on a Hyper-v Windows Server 2008) using GParted Live CD ISO.
Followed this tutorial:
http://malaysiavm.com/blog/how-to-resize-windows-2003-server-virtual-disk-on-vmware-esx/
and GParted Doc
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/resize/resizing.htm
(They are very similar)
The VM has a Dynamic VHD file, I have already increased it using Hyper-v. GParted doesn't give any clues or details for the error. Just simply errors when trying to grow the partition. Any ideas what I can do? Thanks!
Using version of Gparted: gparted-live-0.13.1-2

As @TheCleaner says, use diskpart from a Windows 2008+ install .iso. I always prefer to use Microsoft-supported tools and processes when messing with partitions and disks.
Assuming you've expanded .vhd inside Hyper-V console:
P.S. If you have more then one partition in that .vhd and you're wanting to extend any other then the last one, it's a no go with diskpart (TMK).
