Windows XP installation Question

[ListMail]

If I install Windows XP Pro on a drive that currently contains only data, is 
there a way to preserve the data or will the installation automatically 
erase the existing data on that drive without giving me the option to 
preserve that data?

(I have a computer with 2 drives. I think the c drive is beginning to go 
bad. As a result, I want to make the data drive the c drive, install the OS 
on that drive and then use the former data drive as the c boot drive and get 
rid of the old c drive.)

Thanks.
Steve
