Not all Viri can be simply removed by formating the hard drive. He says that he dosn't want to boot the computer, so that rules out using his installed AV. If he can't obtain a AV boot disk, this is just another option that is available to him. Plus doing a low level format will get rid of almost all virus, but not all.

Just a note though, why not follow up your post with what you though was wrong with mine. Just saying "why the f***" dosn't do too much to add to the meaning of your post.
