Hi,
It's been awhile since i installed qubes, and i'm not sure how much
different the 4.0 installer is from 3.2, but if you choose to delete
your existing partitions during the install and replace them with the
qubes partition, then windows will be wiped out.
Also any drivers installed in windows won't be there when you install
qubes because the whole windows partition was deleted. But qubes comes
with the drivers that most people would need, and for things like
special printer drivers or other kinds of devices there are usually
drivers available for linux.
