I've had very good luck with VirtualBox - it supports (most) USB devices and sound.

Alternately, the easiest way to resize a partition would probably be with gparted. Pop in an Ubuntu livecd and gparted will have an option to resize the partition. Note: on windows, usually you defrag the partition first. ext3 doesn't have a utility to defragment (ext3 never becomes fragmented, right?) so I'm not sure how reliable the resize process is.
