No it does not make another partition, either you can upgrade or install and the installer will put the old files into Windows.old
But windows 7 is really nice, it's the nicest operating system from Microsoft.

I think you should install it on to your drive :)

I installed windows 7 over my second partition and that worked fine. I thought all my files on that partition would be lost but they still were there.
If you install it on the same partition it will ask you to put the windows folder in windows.old but all other folders will remain.(not the registry, thats on a hidden partition I guess)
I pirated windows (sorry lol) first because I was guessing it was another messy mistake like vista. Then I purchased it :)
