EDIT: My current options are:
01. Convert *.IMG to *.VHD and Use *.VHD which can be attached to VirtualBox-Portable USE PMagic or bootable iso/usb to manipulate formats. (CloneDisk: to convert *.IMG -> *.VHD without killing data)
03. Find a tool that can manipulate *.img from windows while its offline (partition, change format etc without destroying data) (is there any?)
Is there an option in ImDisk to mount *.img || *.vhd upon OS boot up which can make windows tools (Partition Magic etc) to see drive and allow manipulation?

..., you normally mount the disk image in Windows with an APPROPRIATE "full disk" driver, (that is NOT IMDISK) and then you use any partitioning/resizing/whatever tool on the mounted image.
A suitable driver/tool is Total Mounter (besides Ken Kato's VDK, and Firadisk/Winvblock):

Imdisk does NOT mount "fully" a hard disk image, ONLY the Volume(s) that are inside it, this info has been written on the forum over, and over and over...
