If you format your hard drive, you will likely erase all your data. Sometimes formatting is necessary to reinstall Windows and whatnot. Just make sure you back up everything before you reformat, because everything on your computer will be GONE after you do it!

...Unless you're just formatting a flash drive or MP3 player, then you just lose everything on that particular device. Again, make sure you backup first.

If you reformat your computer from OS 2000 to OS 98 will you lose all the documents and programs that didn't come on the computer?

Formating will wipe out all information on the hard drive. If the information is not on the computer, then you can't have it 'on the computer' from formating. I would suggest do a full back up of all your important documents, and ensure you have all the software media to reinstall once you have your operating system back online.
