do you need to format a new hard drive before you restore a image to it

Thread needs solution

do you need to format a new hard drive before you restore a image to it if

1 new hard drive is exactly the same size as old drive in same computer

2 the new Hard drive is larger than the old drive in same computer

I find the instructions confusing and I think you only get 30 days support

You don't need to do anything to a disk before restoring an image on it. If ATI doesn't detect a completely blank disk the first time, sometimes choosing the "add new disk" will help initialize the disk.
Always do restores from the recovery CD.
Do not restart the computer with the old disk and the newly restored/cloned disk together in the system.
