Formatting a hard drive

do you still need to format the hard drive after using boot and nuke before reloading windows seven?
If you wipe your HDD, you will need to (re)partition and (re)format those new partitions.
If all you want to do is reinstall Windows in the exact same partitions, just use the Windows DVD or equivalent installation method. There is no need to wipe the HDD just for that.
