If you install on the same partition where your current OS is, seven will move everything in the folder "Windows old", everything else will formatted (only on the same partition).

How do you format an hard drive that is running Windows 7?

BE AWARE of what you just asked, format means to erase EVERYTHING on the drive/partition. There are at least 4 methods that I know of that can erase Windows 7 off of your hard drive. * Open start menu, type CMD, and hit enter, type in FORMAT C:\ and hit enter. (C can be another drive letter, the one that has Windows 7 installed on it.) * Install another operating system over it, as most OS installs have the ability to format a partition. * Delete the partition that has Windows 7 installed on it using Disk Management (google it). * If you hook the HD that has 7 installed on it to another Windows computer, you can open (My on XP) Computer, right click the drive that has 7 installed on it, and click format.
