You can't make a virtual harddisk smaller, only bigger.
You need to create a new virtual harddisk and use a Live CD to copy all data from the old to the new drive. Then edit all mount options and rebuild the bootloader + initramfs. Its really complicated and time consuming but it works.
Using dd to copy stuff would be much easier but I've read that the new drive needs to be atleast the size of the old drive so I think that is not an option.
