It doesn't technically need to format the drive, but it will entirely write over your XP installation unless you do it as a dual boot.
If you don't mind writing over XP, just run the installation as usual.

- If you have two partitions on your hard drive and you have more than 10GB remaining space on the partition that has no Windows OS, better install Win 7 there. You will have dual boot capability. At boot up, you have a choice whether to load Win XP or Win 7. All your personal files could be accessed by either software.
