How do you fix a disappearing room problem on a hard drive on vista?

It is not a "problem." It is perfectly normal for the amount of free space to decrease as more files are added to the system. Windows Vista's System Restore feature takes periodic snapshots in order to facilitate restoring to a previous state. This process will use an increasing amount of space, though eventually the amount of space used will remain constant as old backups are deleted and new ones are put in their place. if you do not desire this functionality, you can turn it off.

There's no such thing as Windows XP format or Windows Vista format. You should check however if your external hard drive uses an NTFS or FAT32 partition table.
