How does installing a new version of Mac OS X work?

I want to buy the new version of Mac OS X when it releases, but wanted to know a few things:
1. Does installing a new OS erase my Hard Drive?
2. When I install the new OS, will it erase the old OS from my system?
3. Is an Operating System stored on the Hard Drive?

PLEASE HELP.

How do you install a second OS on the same hard drive?

There is an old computer which I want to install WinXP on it, while retaining its Win98. I want the two OS to be completely separate from each other and each runs its own installed applications, and has absolutely nothing to do with each other.

The hard drive now is partitioned into C and D, C being the Win98 OS and installed programs, while D is personal data. Should I install XP in C or D partition? Or should I create a new partition within C or D (let’s call it E), this way if either OS screws up, I can restore only that partition using TrueImage or something similar?

Also how much space do I need to install XP?

Is there a way to transfer my c drive to my external in ubuntu?

I really managed to screw up my windows somehow when messing with partitions. I have some very valuable information in my c drive that I still need, however I cannot boot up windows. Ubuntu boots up just fine of the internal hard drive. Basically how can I copy the files from my c drive in windows to my external so after I reformat I can sift through the files and get what I need out?
