you answered your own question. Tear out the old crap and hang the new crap. If it don't fit then cut it to fit. Before hanging it mark on the floor with chalk where the studs are so you know where to screw. You should also use a drywall screw gun. That has a clutch on it that keeps you from screwing right through the sheet rock. If you try using your cordless drill you will break the paper on the face and that would be a bad thing. I screw every 18" starting at about 3" or 4" inches from the top and ending the same on the bottom. Don't leave gaps in areas that you think will be covered up and people won't see. People won't see them but mice will. Depending on what kind of J-boxes your elec is running into that will be one of the hardest parts. The blue ones aren't bad the metal ones that are screwed to the stud suck cause you have to make dead on measurements to cut the hole for them. It really is a simple task in theory..physicaly it is a ball buster especially when working by yourself or with your wife(same thing as woking by yourself basiclly). Just dive in and get it over with.

it is not too hard to fit the panels. the hardest part is to make it look like you knew what you were doing.
Need to use specail screws or nails suit the material
Need to use the right mounting glue
Need to use joint tape or fibre tape... I sujjest fibre tape if doing it yourself as is much easier than tape, also found if tape not used corrctly it may peel in time if not finished proper.
Need to use joiner paste.
Need to use a cornice paste

Drywall rarely needs replaced. Whats wrong with it?
Hire a pro. Its not a DIY project. Unless you are a hillbilly.

check your local library - non-fiction- home repairs .
its a fairly simple job , especially if your walls are 8 feet high.
you will need to tape the joints , and thats a little hard to learn , but you can take your time and do it in stages.
