All HD controllers I've ever worked with (except Taiwan cheapos)
have either had a LL format in the Bios or came with a format
utility on diskette.

I suggest you look there first.  There are some costly as well as
PD/Shareware disk managers/optimizers around, but the one for your
controller is safest.
