Will installing windows on a new drive delete everything on it?

I am currently reinstalling windows.
My old windows was in a partition from my first hdd
Now i want to install it on another hdd, but will installing it there delete everything on it?

if you boot from the dvd or flash drive when you get to windows setup, delete all partitions first

Im installing from a dvd and the drive that i want to install it to doesnt have any partition
Should i just go ahead and install it?
Im afraid it will delete the drive

Well if it's brand new, then it's blank/empty. Just install windows on it

Im sorry but i forgot to mention that im actually reinstalling it and the second drive has a lot of important data
Which is why im kinda afraid of installing it there

Unplug the other hdd if it's not the hdd youre installing windows on. Then install windows. Connect it after windows has been reinstalled
