You have a few options. You could either make a password protected folder within the HDD and place your files in there. You could also encrypt the entire HDD with encryption software such as truecrypt. There are many options available for File protection / Encryption.

When updating a backup folder on an external hard drive in XP will files deleted in the source folder on my hard drive also be deleted in the destination folder on the external drive?

If you rewrite your backup files. Then, yes your backup files will be rewrited (they might be the same or they can be different). The best way is to backup your files in another folder. If you are using standard window backup procedure your source files are safe because the windows backup utility just copies your files, but doesn't remove them. If you are using utility which wasn't a standard part of windows then you have to check settings very carefully. Some backup utilities do remove files instead of coping them.
