new idea
 

I was thinking if u installed the installation CD that comes with the motherboard, and then when u install the new motherboard, u dont have to reformat the hard drive right??? Or is there any other ways that u can install a new motherboard without reformat?

U can use the system on a new mobo without reformatting the HD, but since the previous cannot be completely removed, the systems can become unstable and hang easily, so it's recommended to format the HDand reinstall windows.
