Is the hard drive formatted NTFS or FAT32? FAT32 has a 4 GB file limit.

Oooh....OK...I suppose formatted FAT32 .
Is there a way to converted to NTFS without deleting any files?

Yes, the command is convert C: /FS:NTFS
See this link for more information. http://www.aumha.org/win5/a/ntfscvt.php
It's also wise to do a backup first just in case...

I using a laptop running Vista and I don't want C: to convert but D: (Prgs).
Can I able to use the same command (compatible to Vista?)?
