Options to Resize/Move Extended Partition?

$

I have run into the classic issue of P2Ving a huge file server but after it was all done and converted, realizing it's part of one VDMK with several partitions. I am trying to grow the E: drive (Check screenshot) but I cannot extend it.

 

I came up with a few ideas but neither are ideal:

 

 

1 - Resize/create a new VM via the Converter but I lose another day or two of sync'd data.

 

2 - Create a new bigger drive, robocopy all the files to the new drive but then I will lose share permissions (they are all messed up currently so no universal settings)

 

 

Any other options or tools I can use? I'd love to resize the E: drive without going through a huge process with millions of files.

 

Thanks in advance!
