Reinstall it's always a really good idea but if you make a massive change like that nearly a requirement it's actually a testiment to how stable windows has become that it'll run at all with bad and wrong drivers everywhere.

You have to run a trace program to get the little blue men out of the hard drive, it is better to replace the drive and the data cable and be sure to clean the pins on the sata connectors to remove all the residual Intel dna
