Once you take out your HDD it will ask to reformat any new HDD. It happened to me on both my old 60GB and my current 80GB when I upgraded the HDD. Any time you do a backup you should always delete all of the game data, games, demos and whatever else can be downloaded easily from the PSN store. That way the backup file will be small and manageable and there isnt any worries about losing anything.
