Probably not, unless this is something common in the UK.  I don't recall seeing
one that permitted low-level format from the BIOS.  I know my AMI "Win" BIOS
doesn't, nor does the Phoenix BIOS on my 386.

When I've needed to do it, I just used a shareware IDE low-level format 
program, of which there are several.  I recently had to do an l-l format
on a machine that had previously had Linux on it.  The machine seems to be
working fine.
