   I have a 8GB thumb drive that used to be a ubuntu installer. In the   
   middle of the space there is some tiny system partition - for some   
   reason. I want to wipe the whole drive and start out new. Windows wont   
   format it. GPARTED won't delete the partitions. I don't care about what   
   this drive is all about.   
      
   Can somebody please tell me a dd copy command line that will zero-fill   
   this drive?   
      
   Thanks for your help.   Bill S.
