No, you need an NTFS formatted volume to install Windows 7 onto and also know, that you cannot install Windows 7 on an external HDD that easily (probably some guides can be found via "mac install windows on external hdd"), but if you find a way, the HFS+ (Mac OS Extended) partition needs to go during the reformat.
