If I format my hdd What I have to do after?
If you format your HDD you'll still keep your CFW (if you're jailbroken). You'll have to re-add your accounts & reinstall all games/homebrew/updates/saves etc... unless you can somehow manage a backup.
Be like starting a fresh on a new jailbroken PS3.

A message will pop up telling you to format your new drive, just follow the onscreen instructions. If you backed up to an external hard drive beforehand, plug your drive in, go to System Settings>Backup Utility>Restore and follow the prompts. If you just copied your game saves (like me), just pop your memory card back in and copy them over.
