Demetri;
In my opinion yes.
You technically wouldn't have to, but I feel it's a good idea
to blow away the partition(s) while you're at it just in case there
is a boot sector virus on your drive.
I will usually run "fdisk /mbr" several times just to make sure a new master
boot record
is written.
Might just be my slant on things, but I like to do a complete "house
cleaning"
while I'm doing a re-install.
