I purchased my nook color today. I was trying to format the sd for CM7. I think I used the wrong image. My 16 Gb card now says it is 32 Mbs. How do i reformat it to 16 Gbs?

the SD card i wrote my autonooter to now only shows as being 32 MB when i go to reformat it. This is a 16 GB card. Any tips?
EDIT: DOwnloaded SD Formatter 2.0 and tried that instead of the standard winodws utility. Even though this too originally saw the card as 32 MB it reformatted it at 14.xx GB, which is what this particular "16 GB" card had always reported before.

There's another thread about this, but to sum up, the easiest way is to do it on your Nook. Settings>Device Info>SD Card>Dismount>Format
I have had issues like that before and properties format didn't work for me. Diskpart, clearing and creating a partition did. Then reformat. I have also had occasions where nothing I did would get Windows to see the card. Using in linux and completely zeroing out the card with dd fixed it. dd on a 16gb card would take a rather long time though. Zeroing is usually my last ditch effort before replacing the card.
Popping it in a rooted Android phone and using AR Recovery to format is another easy way.

This worked for me, thanks.
Has anyone here actually gotten any form of froyo to work on a 16gb card? I just sprung for a class 10 card and am bummed I can't get it working. I'm getting cylinder errors with the customized nookie Froyo image and can't seem to find the stock ASOP that was up a while ago to try that.
I had 0.5.9 running on a Kingston 16GB Class 10. I'm going to give 0.6.6 a try. I'm starting from scratch on it. I backed the card up with Win32DiskImager just in case.

Can you tell me what you did exactly? Did you run the makepart.sh and formatpart.sh commands?
I did not run those scripts, just used winimage - restore virtual hard disk image.
I don't see why the size of the sd card should matter at all.
I have it running fine on my card. Just used Win32DiskImager (latest version). After using EASEUS Partition software to resize the sdcard, the sd card shows up fine when viewed in the NC itself. However, I am waiting on the SD Card PC mount fix the dev mentioned in his thread.
Using this one: Patriot LX Series Class 10 16GB

I didn't .sh anything. I assume those are linux commands? I'm using Win 7 x64 and running Win32DiskImager to burn the images. I just burned the card, expanded the SDcard to take up unused space and popped it in my NC. It booted first go and I went to settings/sdcard and it reported free space as 10+GB. I assume that means it's reading the right partition as SDCard.

How did you expand the SD card to take up free space? Did you use EASUS partition manager or something?
NF 0.6.7 is now available for download. I re-wrote it to my SD card and expand the sd card partition just as I did in post #5.
6.7 is not working. It has the same force close problems with the resized partition.

I used Win32DiskImager (0.2) to write the card. I used EASEUS Partition Manager to resize the SDcard partition.

That's exactly what I'm doing.
But how's this for strange:
It WORKS with my OLD Ridata class six 16GB card (1 year old). The exact same brand class 6 16gb cards I bought last week force closes like crazy.
6.7 also confirmed working with a class 4 Patriot 16GB card. What the hell.
Now I have NO idea what's going on. I guess there is some kind of incompatibility with every single ridata 16GB class 6 sd card. Which makes no sense.
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?

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.
