You're kidding.
1. Not every bios offers low level format.
(some of us have to buy software to do that, i believe ontrack makes
a format utility)
2. And what if he has important stuff on other partitions?
3. Why not just repartition and change the MBR?
If I'm not mistaking both can be done via DOS' fdisk.
4. IIRC, if you don't format correctly you may encounter many new bad
sectors.
