getting this stupid pop-up saying "The file ???.iso is too large for the
destination file system"....eeh what? You're joking!! Got enough space in my
HD.

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?)?
