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. You can see that by right-clicking the drive (C, D, E, ..) and clicking properties.

If it uses NTFS it will be no problem for Vista. If it's FAT32, then Google for a way to convert it to NTFS. No big deal.
