if you are going to use the the external hard drive as storage, yes delete windows. format it to fat32, ntfs, ext3, whatever you want and plug it in. it should work fine.

Thats right! Just purchase a kit/ case, then should be ok. And it will not delete and effect your windows.
But when use the external HD on your new computer, then it should become an external storage like Pendrive. So, your external HD's windows will not boot as your need to set the BIOS!
