Raspberry Pi - wheezy / gparted

[Jeffry Smith]

I don't know about Raspberry Pi, but with my Linux systems I use parted
(sudo parted /dev/mmcblk0).   Select each partition and delete.  Then exit
parted, go to mkfs, and mkfs.(insert whatever fs you want/need here)
/dev/mmcblk0.

I've used that on flash drives and SD cards for years.
