You have to use the crop tool correctly. It takes practice. Basically, hold the shift key down and get a square, by holding shift down it makes it perfectly porportioned, and make a square around the whole image that you want.

THEN..

Crop it, of course. After cropping it like that, go to Image >> Image size and make sure contrain porportions is checked, and then type in 100 x 100 for width and height.

Should work.
