I created a volume with truecrypt and tried putting files on it that are over 4 GB. It wont let me because that volume is in fat32. Is there anyway I can get it to change to ntfs without ruining the files I have on it ?

Question about external drives/vista?
Henry W
i have a 100 gb hard drive and 512 ram laptop. as of right now i have less than 5 free gb on my laptop. so if i switch to vista my best alternative(as i was told) is to buy an external drive. IM WONDERING ARE THOSE WIRELESS? cause i believe they hook up to the usb and i move around with my laptop alot and even if im in my bed working n stuff it seems inconvenient 2 have it hooked up on my usb. also if i make a recovery partition on my hard drive then install vista will it be formated or just windows ( i have JUST windows on my local disk) then have everything else saved on a separate partition
