'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=1M count=1' as root, against the unmounted
drive (not partition) will solve your problem.  Of course, you'll have to
partition and format after that.  Fat and iso9660/ufs store filesystem data
in slightly different spots, both near the beginning of the drive.  Doesn't
help when the filesystem image is purposefully crafted to exploit that fact.
