No, you dont want to reformat the hard disk. But you should install the drivers from the Motherboard CD which is provided with the new motherboard.
The Old Drivers will be automatically replaced when you install the new ones.
No need for Installing or formatting or reinstalling windows.
All you have to do is reinstall the drivers.. Thats all

hi i m dani
you buy a new motherboard ofcourse its latest i think. if it is so u can format your harddisk surely because your older motherboard have different drivers and your new have different. Only in one condition u not format your hard disk ( if u use operating system windows98 in your old system then you just only replace your motherboard )
