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.

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.

    Card is recognized as /dev/mmcblk0.  Due to a botched gparted
    there are multiple partitions.

    Partition             FS                Mount Point

    unallocated           unallocated
    /dev/mmcblk0p1        fat32
    /dev/mmcblk0p2        ext4 /media/bruce/gazillion_letters_and _numbers
    unallocated           unallocated

    How do I select the whole card - and wipe it?  It seems I can't do
    all partitions at once.

    Do I need a separate partition for my "data", or can I use just 1
    for the whole thing?

    Initial RPI symptoms - no boot, no network.  +5V ok on board.  If
    someone could get me pointed in the right direction, I'd
    appreciate it.
