If you're formatting a drive, you're losing any data that was there. I'd think that low-level formatting is a good thing, no? If the drive was developing troubles, wouldn't you want to know? Why would the ROM's own formatting routines make things worse? Does the factory do anything more than call the ROM formatting routines?
