If you're talking about just upgrading the CPU, why would you need to reinitialize the HDD?

???? Re-initialize you HDD? I don't even know how you would do that let alone what it is, just swap the CPU, no OS or other hardware will care.

Does reinitilize = reformat??? If so, you shouldn't need to do that for a CPU upgrade... A motherboard upgrade maybe, but you should be ok just swapping out the cpu's.
