It depends on the Type of Format.

If u quick format, thne not to worry, but in case of full format there is a limit around 1K you can format your HDD.

Default Hi

Don't worry,
You can quick format ur hard disk, full format it many times but be careful while changing file system.

I dont think the question really matters as all high level formats just clear out the file tables and mark the space as free for the OS to use after reinitializing the tracks/sectors. However a low level format is something totally different and it should be used as sparingly as possible. And in fact, you would hardly need to do a LLF on the disk in any circumstance.
