It should be fine, the question is why you need to do so frequently. WARNING! Reformatting your hard disk will wipe out ALL data, including Windows, programs, etc. If you don't have a Windows recovery CD or an original Windows installation CD, you will not be able to re-install Windows. Some systems come with a Windows restore partition which will not be wiped out by reformatting the hard disk.
