Adding RAM doesn't affect your computer's hard drive, so no reformatting is needed. The only thing you need to worry about is 1) making sure the computer is turned off before installing the RAM, and 2) when installing the RAM reduce possible electrostatic (ESD) damage by a) wearing an anti-static wriststrap or b) touch the computer's metal chassis to ground yourself.
