Repartitioning only touches a few bytes on the card. Reformatting
would touch a few more. But zeroing out the card would touch them
all. There isn't a concept of low-level formatting these beasties -
"formatting" only means that the OS lays down the organizational
structure it likes to see. Whatever didn't happen to lie in the path
of critical control structures will still be there after formatting.
