[Gumstix-users] Starting from scratch

[Chris C. <cjc...@gm...>]

Hi all,

We're trying to get our Sandisk CF card working, and to make things
easier (we thought) we wanted to start from the beginning.

We've downloaded a new buildroot, built the image, and erased the
previous one (using era 1:2-31). After doing this, it doesn't seem to
wipe out the old file system.

We'd like to start fresh on the unit, but it seems like our attempts
don't work. We've totally messed up our initial install, so we have to
figure something out now.

Is there any low level format commands or apps we could use to do
this? We though era would take care of it, but it never seems to wipe
it permanently.

Craig, any thoughts?

Thanks,
-Chris
