Just wondering if there is an option in CM7 somewhere to safely unmount the microSD card from the Nook Color prior to removing it? Have looked and searched on it to no avail.

Good Evening XDA,
Today I received a Nook Color for the holidays (yay!) and rooted it very easily with Autonooker. Now, my problem is that I formated the sd card after I got the Nook to root, but when I try to use the SD Card it only tells me that 40 MB is available (from a 2GB Card).
Is my card completely useless now, as I am afraid to put it back in my nook in so that I don't get a constant rerooting happening, or is there a way to completely remove the image and get it back to its "full" 2GB?
Thank You.
Should just have you Nook on, Nook tools/settings, SD card. Theres an unmount button, hit unmount then the format right under.
Thats what i did to mine, or just throw it back on the pc right-click format.
Actually, that worked very well.
I didn't think this through, but since I wasn't botting up the device, it wouldn't have been booting from the SD card and instead just reading from it.
Got it to work, thank you.
Same thing happened to my SD card, however I used a 8G card. Now I removed it from my nook, put it in my pc to format it and it still tells me I have only 40mgs of memory. I was going to use the 8G card for extra memory on my nook for videos and music. Guess I can't anymore unless someone can tell me how to get my 8G of storage back on my 8G sd card.
Look at camm's reply above. Put your sd back in your nook, go to settings ==> device ==> sd then hit <unmount> and then hit <Format sd>. That will put it back to 8gb

I finally figured it out. On my nook that is. Would unmount the sd card and quickly turn it over to remove it. Was wondering why I could never get the format SD card to work on the nook until I unmounted and watched the screen for the ability to format the sd card became available as an option for me to use.
Just think I am too much of a noob at all of this.
Anyways, thanks.
Hey all just a quick question. When I boot to cwr from rom manager and try to install any zips it wont mount the external card so I can select my zip. Maybe a bad cwr install?
Thanks!

Was the uSD inserted before or after booting into CWR?
If before, then it should be showing up. I've had a few times, though, where the card is misaligned just enough that it's not making proper contact. If this is the case, then the uSD won't show up anywhere at all. Reinserting the card typically solves that.
If you're inserting it after you've booted into CWR, then IME, it won't mount. I don't know if that's designed behavior or not. *shrug*
In CWR, there is an option to mount sdcard. Did you try that?
I had the same problem yesterday. CWR would not see the card or let me mount it manually. When booted into Android, the card was visible. I used a different card and CWR worked just like normal. Only thing I can think of is that there are some cards that CWR doesn't like?
I had just done a fresh FAT32 format on the card that wouldn't work. It was originally named "LA_NOOK" and thinking that maybe the name was the problem, I shortened it to "NOOK" and it didn't make a difference.
Ok so I tried a different micro SD and it was fine. Thanks for the help, although I still do wonder why my 8 gig card fails and my cheapo 2 gig card works great

dame it cwr wont see my sd card
I have rooted my nook color but when i try to download apps i get this warning:
! No SD Card
An SD card is required to download Amazon_Appstore-release
but i have an sd card mounted.
Does anyone have a solution? If not i will go back to nook 1.4.1 as i liked that ok. I just wanted to know what all the rooting hoopla was about.
Hello,
I'm currently running my Nook HD+ on Jellybean, using one of verygreen's boots.
(NookHDplus-verygreen-New-SD-add-bokbokan-Cyanoboot-rev0-(06.01.13) to be exact)
I'm wanting to upgrade to KitKat, because a few reviews say it provides a better experience.
So I followed the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602796
It's all very familiar, and is pretty much the same exact process as I followed when I successfully did the verygreen boot above.
I've got everything loaded onto my 8GB SanDisk SD Card, it's in my Nook HD+, and I'm ready to go.
At least, that's what I thought.
I seem to be having this issue where it's not able to find my SD Card.
When I load cyanoboot universal bootloader, CWM only gives me the options to install zips from /sdcard.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but /sdcard is classified as the internal "sd card"; and the thing I'm wanting is ext_sdcard, right?
So the question is, how do I point my device in the direction of the external SD Card, so it can boot from it?
Not sure if this helps, but when I spring my SD Card out and back in, it returns the following:
/storage/ext_sdcard: Idle-Unmounted
/storage/ext_sdcard: Checking
/storage/ext_sdcard: Idle-Unmounted
I could be wrong; as I'm no programmer, or by any means a developer, but this sounds like it's recognizing the drive, but unmounting it immediately after recognition.
Thanks in advance,
Vahn
I'm definitely no expert, but looking at the link you provided, step 6 says to copy the files to the INTERNAL SD (internal memory) as the current CWM can only read the internal SD. So it seems you boot from the external SD card, but you need the files on the internal memory for it to find them?
Update:
Fixed it myself.
I just had to completely re-format the SD Card, and drag/drop the ZIP files (CWM-Recovery-Ovation, CM-11, and PA_GAPPS).
Then I restarted the Nook WITHOUT THE SD CARD, and it started recognizing external_sd.
I put the SD Card in, mounted it, loaded the zips from external, and it worked like a charm.
Since your HD+ already had CM10.x on EMMC, there is a simpler process that does not require use of an external SD card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-hd/general/how-to-updating-hd-hd-internal-emmc-to-t2863171.
Took my first plunge with installing CM on my Nook HD+ yesterday. I installed CM 11 M12. Generally things went well, but this morning, I discovered that my external SD card won't mount.
If I boot the device with the SD card inserted, the Mount SD Card option is enabled in Storage>Settings but doesn't do anything.
If I insert an SD card after the devices is booted, the Mount SD Card option does not enable.
I have repartitioned and formatted the card FAT32 and this has not solved the problem.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Found my problem. Had to reformat the card with SDFormatter. Now all is better.
