If you are using the VMware Virtual Disk Manager included in GSX Server, VMware Server, Workstation, or ACE to expand the size of a virtual disk, and the virtual disk is partitioned, you will need to use a third-party utility to resize the expanded partitions.  This utility would be run from inside the guest operating system.
 
Examples of third-party utilities include:
 
Partition Magic
System Rescue CD https://www.system-rescue.org/
GParted LiveCD https://gparted.org/livecd.php
Partition Logic https://partitionlogic.org.uk/
EASEUS Partition Manager https://www.easeus.com/partition-manager/epm-free.html
Paragon Partition Manager https://www.paragon-software.com/business/partition-manager/
Ranish Partition Manager
7tools Partition Manager
DFSee https://www.dfsee.com/dfsee/index.php
Windows DiskPart utility.
