You should also add count=1 unless you want to erase the whole drive.

Without it 'dd' uses a default (i.e. bs=512) and as it copies one block at a time it can be quite slow. So increasing the block size makes things noticeable faster.
wipe the entire computer completely clean "100%"
what was the reason for this error? I'm now getting this on piCore, too although plenty of mem and tmpfs space is still free.
