I use the Disk Director Suite (under Vista) from Arconis.com. I typically even have problems flashing new CF cards that are pre-formatted with FAT partitions. I use Disk Director to delete all the partitions on the CF prior to flashing. There is probably a way to do this using Windows itself, but I haven't bothered to experiment with it.

I have a CF card which has had the net5501 image of 0.6.7 on it. I want to start again with the geni586 image. I am having hell's own job wiping the card completely, in Windows. No matter what I do to try to wipe it, when I then use physdiskwrite to put the geni586 image on the CF card, all looks well to begin with, but when I run http://pbx/admin/setup.php, and it reboots, the admin account password is no longer the default, but is what I set it to in the previous installation, and the hostname reverts to what I set it to previously.. Evidently, my understanding of disks, partitions, volumes, etc, is completely off-key. How, using Windows, do I wipe the whole card so that I can start from scratch?
