I've tried to find the command which will format a HD. I believe fdformat is for floppy disks. Can you be more specific as to command name. Also, I not sure who Patrick is and what his suggestion was in this case. I've looked in /sbin /bin /usr/sbin and /usr/bin with little luck.
"Format" means create (make, or mk) a filesystem (fs) on a partition or logical volume. So, mkfs is the tool you did not find. It has less than obvious variations, such as mkfs.ext4 and mkfs.vfat. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
