Sorry if this sounds mean, but if you don't have a way of backing up the 150 GB, then that data isn't really important to you. External drives are very cheap, so you need to decide what costs more....buying the drive, or taking a risk to lose all of that data.
Simply put, if it is important, you back it up. If you don't want to back it up, it isn't important.

Yes, I understand you.
But my question actually is:
When I'm installing 64-bit OS on before used 32-bit OS, should I delete whole hard disk drive, or I can delete only C partition (there is installed OS)?
Let's don't talk about my data...
I just need a technical answer for this question because I never use 64-bit OS.

That question has me curious. Are you storing all of your data on a partition 'other' than C:?
If so this process may be simpler than anyone has thought.

I have two partitions C and D. My data are on D, and System data and installed programs are on C.

You should be good to go. Go ahead and make sure you don't need any data from C: and go ahead with the install. Format/install to C:.
Keep in mind this isn't much protection, your data will not be safe until you have a proper way of backing it up.

You still should back up the data, like it or not. Why take a chance?
If the D is an extended partition, and not a primary stand-alone partition, you could cause some issues by deleting C. If they were two separate hard disks, you could just unplug D until you get Windows 7 installed, but it seems as though they are one drive (my assumption).
A lot can go wrong when you mess with partitions that hold data you feel is important. You're best bet is to back it up. If you do this, and it works fine, but a month later the hard drive dies, your data is lost. Back it up.
