As the Don mentioned, yes. When you re-install the OS everything that was normally installed when the OS was installed the first time will also be re-installed meaning that you'll be required to do your updates all over again. Everything, even the updates to the various things like IE, OE, and MP will need to be re-installed and re-downloaded. Some people have made the effort to archive the various downloads that they'll need should they face this situation again. If you have a means of backup (CDs are usually recommended for this) then it's an idea for you. Alternatively you can partition your HDD and save the updates to another partition or even to another drive if you want to install a slave drive.
