I recently Autonootered my NC with 3 and didn't format my SD as the last step tells me to.
Can I now just back up what was on there, reformat and copy back over what was on the card?
EDIT: sorry about the title typo

This is the situation:
I had a message on my phone (G1) stating the SD Card was damaged and I may need to format. Long story short, I formatted the card. Before formatting I moved everything from my card to my desktop.
After formatting, I moved everything back to my card. I then partitioned my card. I tried to partition first but got fed up when I ran into problems attempting to do so. Now after rebooting I was able to see about 1/3 of the apps I downloaded (I had almost a hundred and change- 16g card).
So, the question is: Do I have to reformat the card, partition, then put the files back on the card? Basically do everything all over again. Or is there a way to "restore" all my apps somehow?
Thanks in advance.

Did you transfer you ext partition? If not then you are going to have to redownload and install everything cause you wiped your entire card losing your apps2sd links.

What exactly do you mean "transfer you ext partition"?
After messing around some more.......
I connected the usb to my computer, copied the "whole sd card" to my desktop, transferred everything back to my card after after wipe, format and everything.
Now when I go into a file manager, which I had to download again, I can see all the apps are on my card.
How do I get them in the "app tray or app launcher", I think it's called.
And when I go to settings, application whatchamacallit, I see my card is partitioned. I use Amon-Ra partitioning thing.
Hey guys, this is my first post! I just picked up a nice 16gb micro sd card for my n1, was wondering whats the best way to copy things over from the old stock 4gb microsd. can I just mount the phone and drag and drop everything to the new card, or is there more that i should do?
I've read somewhere that you should format and partition it (Fat32+ext2+swap) through Recovery, but i'm not sure what to do. I'm currently on CM6 RC2. Thanks!
I did a direct copy from one card to another. And it worked just fine.
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.
I'm new to the Nook, I've had it for just over a week and have been running CM7 stable on the sd card from day one. I decided to install the newest nightly (168 I think) bc of increased battery life.
I followed the sd card boot instructions I found on this forum and elsewhere: drag and drop new nightly onto sd card, boot into recovery, but the update wouldn't take. Took the plunge to wipe the sd card, rewrote the size agnostic boot image, put on the new nightly, nothing. What finally worked was me increasing the size of the boot partition to a gig, and then the new nightly finally installed.
Alls good right? NOPE. Now for some reason I can't access ANY files I have on my emmc! I have all my books and videos stored there bc of the limited sd card space, but now I can't access them on the new nightly like I did on the stable version. I can see the emmc files in the file manager, but when I try to open books with aldiko it says "sd card not found" or "operation could not be completed. " in settings it says that the sd card is unmounted, but when I go to mount it, my notification bar says the "sd card is damaged" and that "you may have to reformat the sd card." It also seems the sd card is recognized as "internal memory" in the storage part of the setting menu.
Help! Should I drop down to the previous nightly? Reduce the size of the boot partition? Please treat wiping the sd card again as a last resort. Thanks in advance for your help.

My suggestion is getting a new uSD card.
What was your card capacity? 1GB?

Thanks for the response! This is really confusing me.
My sd card is an old 2 GB sandisk I took from an old berry I had.
But per my post above im not sure that the problem is with the sd card. It worked perfectly with cm7 stable. Im thinking maybe I messed up the installation process? Please help!

Also, the actual problem here is not accessing the sd card, it is accessing books on the emmc! For some reason cm7 wont let me open books from my internal memory bc of an sd card issue. Im confused.
Again, the sd card worked perfectly in cm7 stable. AND cm7 is booting fine from the SD card! Please help folks!

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.
