I have Vista and I also have the installation disc, and I want to reinstall Vista and also delete everything that is on the harddrive. Do I just insert the Vista disc and when choosing the installation location, click on format? Will everything still work fine then?

Thanks

You will need to reinstall all your drivers or things won't work correctly. Video card drivers, sound card drivers, Network card drives, chipset drivers etc. If you do all that then yes, it will still work correctly.

Yes, insert the disk, follow the directions. That all you need to do.
