If I am right, you resized the drive correctly, but you didn't resize the drive in Windows VM. Search in VM for Create and format hard disk and partitions.
In this utility check if there is no free space (unformated space or unallocated space) on your disk. If yes, then extend it.
You should do the following instead:
VBoxManage.exe modifyhd "%UserProfile%\VirtualBox VMs\<VM name>\<VM name>.vdi" --resize 102400
%UserProfile%isC:\Users\<name>- Replace
<VM name>with the name of your virtual machine.
