That will just erase the first megabyte of the drive, leaving
utilities like cfdisk to think the drive is new and unformatted. It
won't attempt to over write the bad sector(s) though. See the other
message I posted on how you can try to over write just the bad
sector(s) faster.

Gregory . . . the detailed instructions in this and your previous email
are very helpful. Thanks for catching the error. If needed, I will use
this command as you suggested:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx
I think this can be marked as "solved" for now. Will post an update in
a week or so.
