Basically when formatting a PC you are deleting your operating system. and erasing all the hard drive and installing new fresh copy of Windows . Its used to get rid of some viruses that cant be resolved by Anti viruses and some spywares too. Note !! All data MUST! Be backed up before the process of formating because when u format all ur date will be deleted. you can Store ur data in different hard drive . or in different partition if u have one hdd devide in 2 Such as (Local Disk C: or D:) or in some disks to prevent data loss.

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.
