Raspberry Pi - wheezy / gparted

[Bruce Labitt]

Deleting the partitions, adding a new primary partition and mkfs.vfat -F 
32 /dev/mmcblk0 did the trick. For some reason, the wheezy install (via 
dd) didn't go well.  I used the NOOB installation and installed 
raspbian-wheezy from there.

Raspbian (wheezy) is running on RPI.  Connected through ssh and updating 
now.

Thanks for everyone's help.
