I know this may sound like a dumb question but after reformatting my Macbook, will I have to reinstall any drivers? I always reformatted my PC every year but this is the first year I have had a Mac. Thanks

I don't think so, but if you still have the bootup disk, there shouldn't be a problem either way.

If you want the latest drivers, then yes you will have to download them again. Reformatting your hard drive will only install the drivers that came with your macbook, so anything that you've downloaded after that will be lost.

Alright thanks. I'm not to worried about downloading the latest drivers, I was just making sure I didn't have to go through the trouble of finding all the drivers I needed.
