Yes, If the hardware drivers were available when the Windows DVD was created. Some new computers might have new hardware that lacks drivers. It's best to backup the current drivers to a CD before you reformat your computer.
Hello xpcman,
I have Realtek AC97 Audio drivers installed and I also have Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet and Microsoft Kernel Debug Network Adapter. So would these drivers be installed automatically when Windows 7 in installed? Another question that I wanted to ask was that how can I backup drivers? I don't know where they are on my pc and how can I backup them by copy pasting them?

A product like SlimDrivers can backup your drivers and find/install the latest drivers. Just Google the name for a download location.
