I personally do all this manually using dd, and fdisk in Linux. As I prefer to use Linux tools, for Linux "stuff". But it can get a bit confusing if you're not experienced with the tools.
dd to write zero's to the first 10M of the disk. Wipes out the MBR, and partition table. Easily. then dd the new image to the sdcard Save older small sdcard, mount on your Linux x86 machine, as well as install openssh-server on this machine if not already installed. On the x86 machine place files that you want to keep in a regular users home directory. When the BBB is running the new image, install sshf, mount the x86's regular user home directory, and copy files over that you require. *Another option:* From your x86 Linux machine run an NFS share, which is then always mounted to a directory inside the BBB's regular users home directory. Keep all projects, and file here. That way, when it's time to move to a different sdcard, or the sdcard gets old and dies. You still have the data safe on your NFS server. Not to mention this will help keep the BBB from filling up in the first place, and writing data to an NFS share all the time, is much better than writing to an sdcard. All the time.
