u don't have to but it would be a lot better if u did

windows doesn't really like u changing the main component of the pc
it may appear to run fine without a format but u wil prolly end up with mysterious crashes etc.

u would be wise to just take the plunge and do it :D

This old chestnut ? Bite the bullet and reinstall - I've given a more detailed description (and possible way around the problem) here (http://forums.gameplay.com/showthread.php?threadid=212185).

Good luck :)
