The OS Restore CD *will* destroy everything and leave your server
as-good-as-new, which also means as-blank-and-empty-as-new. This is why
you do backups.
An OS reinstall *over* your existing stuff will not destroy files on
partitions that don't get reformatted. You risk leaving bad things
behind, though.
