think u need to completely reformat. you can do it right from the tablet.. look back a page or two for what i told quick to do with sfdisk.. that wll make 1 large partition and reformat the whole thing into ext2... that should work. or try a full slow reformat in windows.

if they still show up use dd like suggested by someone else in this thread.
I used gparted to:
1) delete all partitions
2) created one large fat32 partition
3) format the fat32 partition

Even if remnants of the old data was still on the sd card, any usable pointers to it should not be found by the new install. I could run every program that I had installed on the old OS clone.
