Realizing that this is probably not the most elegant approach, any time I am cleaning off a drive that will be changing OSes, I always to a:
cp /dev/zero /dev/(whatever) to force the entire drive clear, partition tables and all. Takes a while, and far from elegant, but I've also never had cross-OS issues that way either. Wenton L.
