If you are going to delete your previous install of Windows, you do not need admin rights on the old system. If you plan to install a new copy of windows into and existing file system admin rights will be required. If you want to keep both, but use seperate file systems you can resize your file system and repartition your harddrive. System Rescue CD would be a good tool for resizing and repartioning your harddrive in prep for installing a new OS while maintaining the old one.

Yes Reinstall operation may require Admin rights if you are starting the setup from Windows XP.
If you are reinstalling from Bootable CD, then you don't require this.
