I am a complete newbie. i'm hosting VM on OS X using virtualbox. I'm trying to resize the virtual hard drive by using the following command in the terminal.

VBoxManage modifyhd "<absolute path including name and extension>" --resize 20480

I used a disk size of 25480 (i'm not really sure how to pick the correct size. and I got the following error:

Progress state: VBOX_E_NOT_SUPPORTED
VBoxManage: error: Resize hard disk operation for this format is not implemented yet!

virtualbox version 4.1.18

I don't really even know what to ask. What am I doing wrong?
