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

I have a working XP.vdi around 4GB in size, running on a Linux Host: 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP with no vtx.

I first 'released' the image, then did a resize to 5GB and it worked, unfortunately I was having trouble with gparted so I didn't use gparted on the ntfs.

I got gparted through kvms working, then came back to this image but gparted wasn't showing me any extra space on the disk (the unallocated is my linux drive).

Windows also shows i'm using 4.6GB/5GB

but VirtualBox only sees 4.18GB :

Bottom line is, I think i'm only using the original 4.16GB of space in-spite of what Windows/Gparted think. I tried a further larger resize to 6GB using VBoxManage but that failed with the error above.

What do I do?
