Welcome to the forums.

You can use whichever version of Vista your little heart desires.

You can download drivers from Asus before you format. If you have all the disks and documentation that came with drivers should be in there.

Also if your format question relates to security say of a personal nature. I would recommend you get a free utility that overwrites entire HDD at least once.

in some cases when your re-installing windows you can select the full format option that should do the trick as far as clear personal data ... i guess if someone REALLY knew wha they were doing could still get something
