When you delete partition 1 when installing Windows XP does it wipe the hard drive?
It "wipes" it in that the partition table is erased and thus is marked as available for a new partition to be created. It does not in itself remove the actual data on the disc; several tools can be used to recover data after deleting the partition or even after making a new one.

How do you disable a drive partition in Windows 98?
You can not disable a partition in Windows 98 but you can remove it(everything on the partition will be lost if not saved beforehand on a cdr-rw or another hard drive). Boot up with a windows 98 floppy with th Operating System on it and the the Fdisk.exe file on it. At the "A" prompt, type "fdisk" and press enter. When the fdisk screen pops up, first be sure which partition you want to delete (D,E etc)so you don't delete the partition with your operating system on it (the "C" drive). Once you have determined which partition is to be deleted, follow the onscreen instructions to remove the correct one. When finished, close out the program and reboot the system and the partition should be gone.

It is not possible to install any Operating System next to another on the same partition.

Then install Windows 7 to it's partition. Then install XP to it's partition. You should now be able to boot either Operating System. Note: You must install XP after Windows 7 as the Windows 7 installation wizard would want to upgrade XP. WARNING: This will erase all of the data on your hard drive. Be sure to back up all of your files before installing anything.
