I looked all around but haven't found anything about it, but, can I use a 2gb micro sd card to install honeycomb on my nook color?
should be fine.
The full version wouldn't fit on my 2gb card, had to use the dual boot version

I just got my "new" nook and tried to boot Froyo 0.6.8 from an SD card. It just gets stuck at the blue ANDROID_ screen. I tried Froyo 0.6.7 and redoing 0.6.8 but it never got past ANDROID_. I'm using a new Transcend 4GB class 6 card. I first tried writing it using WinImage and my laptop's built in card reader, but when that card didn't boot I tried using a USB card reader and Win32diskimager. The Nook came with 1.1 on it and I haven't done anything to the internal rom.
Any ideas? How long should it stay on the Android_ screen if its working?
Did you figure this out?
This sounds like the classic failure described with 16GB cards on multiple threads. There's a nice consolidated thread on cards that are known to work. I'd check that. I have froyo working beuatifully on an 8Gb class6 transcend card.
Most likely you have some glitch on the card. I would do a complete deep wipe of the card (e.g. using SDformatter, all options). Then reflash with win32diskimager, then expand the SDcard partition with EASUS
it should boot in a couple of minutes tops the first time round.
I looked at those threads about cards before I bought one and the Transcend 4gb, class 6 I got is one that seemed to work.
I haven't been able to get the nook to boot off any card. I tried doing the format suggested and tried another 1gb PNY card with the bootable clockwork. I've tried writing with the internal SD writer in my laptop and with a Kodak (sakar) usb writer and with Win32DiskImager and WinImage.
I suppose the USB writer I have might not be good, but I don't want to get another one without knowing its one that works. So far I don't know whether the problem is with the cards I'm writing or for some reason this nook won't boot off SD card.
Thanks for the suggestions.
I probably had a flaky 4gb card. Now it won't format or write whatever I do.
dumb Q, but is the 1gb card you ahve also flaky now too... in which case it might well be the reader?
Will your nook stock OS read the SD card? (e.g. throw some photos ont here and see if the nook will show them) that way eliminate the nook.
There's some older threads that suggest first formatting the SD card with the nook stock OS, but I've never needed to do that.
I'd persevere - there's definately some plusses of froyo over the rooted B&N (especially if you use adhoc networks a lot), and you absolutely need nookie froyo as a backup incase you fry something when you take the plunge to CM7 (which is phenomenal, despite being so early in its release)
The 1gb I borrowed seems ok. I managed to boot a card with a bootable clockwork on it. I didn't do anything to Nook stock OS yet. I want to be clear that I can recover if I do first. I did get another reader, but I think it was probably the card. I wasn't able to boot of the 1gb at first because I was making a mistake in unzipping the .tar.gz files.
Do you have any pointers of where to find out about how to use Clockwork recovery?
I am using 0.6.7 on a 8gb class 6 Transcend... it's working great, no issues with booting.
I recently used the size agnostic SD card installer to install cm7 on my nook color. I noticed after I made the SD card (a 8gb card) a bootable SD card. That my computer was saying that it only had a capacity of 117 megabytes. Can someone explain it step by step how I can keep the SD card as a usd to boot cm7 but it is able to use all 8 gigabytes for app storage? Any help would be appreciated .
Google Easus download and use that utitlity to resize the partition to the full remaining space of your sd card.
Is there a way to access that extra space and store media on it?
I used the latest manual nooter to root my nook...everything went painless enough; I had used a 4 GB SD card to do this. When I was done rooting my nook, I reformatted my 4 GB SD card and installed it into the nook color to have the full 4 GB worth of storage space...how quickly I was able to use that up! ...I should add that I rooted my nook to the internal nook drive...not to a bootable SD card.
Now, I am wanting to expand my nook color SD card to a 32 GB card. Since I used the 4 GB card to image and nooter my nook do I have to stay with the 4 GB card? ...or can I just format the new 32 GB card, copy and past all the info from the 4 GB to the new 32 GB card and off I go?
Sorry for the newbie question but I didn't want to do this and then find out that the rooted nook color will not run smooth or find that I am getting force closures.
Thanks!

You should be able to switch up to 32GB, I would move all apps moved to SD back to memory first just to be sure apps don't break.
I am sure this has been covered before but I finally made a boot SD for CM7 and while it works pretty good I want to try a class 4 sandisk SD card to see if its any faster. My question is can I just copy everything from my card now to the new card and insert it in my Nook?

Click to expand...

Not using windows explorer. But you can get the free program win32diskimager. It can read your card and write the image to your PC. Then you can write it to your new card.

Hi,
I notice a lot of Rom images say will will work in a 4GB card.
Is there any problems using a larger card, like 8GB?
Thanks.

Yep. Use above method to put your image file on anything up to 32gig card; be sure you are using Sandisk brand, though. Small block read/write speed makes this the Nookers choice.
I just migrated from an 8gb to 16gb Sandisk card last night. I used win32diskimager to make an image of the 8gb card and then wrote that to the 16gb card. I then had to use a combination of Linux GParted and EASEUS partition manager to modify the partition sizes. I wanted to make more space available for apps instead of the 1GB (I upped it to 2GB), and expanded the CM7 partition to fill the remainder of the drive. I booted from the new card and everything seems to be working fine.
This is a stock nook hd+
I've been trying to figure out how to load CM10.1 on a bootable SD card but I can't figure out how, yet.
Anyways, have a 64gb micro sdxc card exfat formatted stuck inside. hooked it up by USB, tried to transfer large file to memory card by nook.
Gets 2gb done, then hangs.
Tried to have the nook itself format the sd card and then try again.
Again, 2gb transferred and then fail.
I guess I could just take the SD card out to a reader and to it that way, but I really don't want to. Would prefer to transfer through nook.
I'm running vista, so exfat support seems etchy.
You are talking two issues. One, you want CM10.1 on SD. The easiest way to do that is to go to my updated HD+ CM10/10.1 guide linked in my signature.
And I am not sure why you are transferring a file larger than 2GB to internal memory. Certainly not for installing CM10.1?

exFAT has 2GB file size limitation. NTFS does not but it will not work on Nook.
