I was'nt sure where to post so it ended up here. I am replacing my cpu, motherboard, and memory on wednesday and have a important question. Do I need to format my hard drive before I make the switch and then reinstall Windows XP after I have the new parts wired in? I am sure hoping the answer is no because I would have about 50 gigabytes of data I do no not want to lose and, therefore, would have to burn to CDs.
I am switching from a 1ghz Athlon T-bird with a Gigabyte motherboard to a Athlon XP 2500+(that I will be overclocking) and a ABIT NF7-S motherboard if that makes any difference.
As I said I am switching wednesday(as in TOMORROW) and need to know right away. Thanks in advance.
