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.

What do you use the Mac OS Disc for after you use bootcamp to install vista?

Okay, I installed Vista onto a partitioned section of my Mac OS X 10.5.8 using boot camp. But there are no installed drivers for things like internet wireless.

Everything I searched says you need disc 1 of the Mac OS installation and I have it. But what do you do with it?

Do you boot the Vista Side then pop in the disc?

Do you pop in the disc right after booting and do some configuration or something?

Or do you install it on the Mac side?

Ideas?

How do you make Mac os x load pictures on myspace?

I am a new mac user and the only problem I have with it, is that it doesn’t load pictures on myspace and sometimes it doesn’t load profile songs; it just shows a little question mark in a blue square. I’ve tried to fix it myself but apparently I haven’t done a very good job. Any help please?
