If I upgrade my computer (see sig) but keep my current hdd (Segate 120gb ATA) will I have to format my drive, because I have installed a new mobo, cpu etc?

In theory no, just uninstall the drivers, in practice its probably best to format the drive and start from scratch.

Yes if it's your Windows boot drive & no if it's just a data drive
