If you're going to make a format, then yes you will need drivers. You don't necessarily need a CD with the drivers. If you have another hard drive or maybe a different partition that will not get formatted while installing Windows, go to your computer manufacturer's website to find your computer model and it should have drivers for all your hardware provided you did not change anything inside, such as add new hardware. If you did add new hardware, then you will need to have in handy the drivers for that hardware. You can visit the manufacturer's website of the specific hardware to get your model's drivers.
