I am going to format my PC and reinstall XP. Although I have a question, do I re install my graphics card if I formatted my pc??

Yes reinstall the drivers. You dont need to physically uninstall and install it but the software for it will need to be refreshed.

You just re-install the drivers, but make sure you have them handy or that XP has the correct ones. You should at least make sure your modem will work, that way you can always go to the manufactures website to download drivers.

After reformatting and installing XP, install ALL drivers - chipset, all onboard devices, and expansion cards/devices.

Yep,when you format the drive you completely wipe it clean.
Like a wet rag to a blackboard.
