Having updated from CM10 to CM10.1 I am getting a repeated error that the SD card has been removed, and to please install another.
My SD card (32gb) is still in place, and through CWM I'm getting "Error mounting /external_sd!"
Any help/thoughts would be appreciated.

CM10.1 is on beta, it would be something to mention in their thread so they can look at it!
I would, but I don't have enough posts to reply in development.

i am having the exact same problem with the exact same phone.
if you find a solution, please let me know.
as far as i can tell, although it says it has been removed after waking it up- you can still access media from the card... but from recovery cannot do a backup. pretty odd if you ask me. i download and install each nightly hoping the issue will be corrected.

i was having the same error after replacing the external sd card,
This is how i solve it:
Repartition the external sd; 1gb for the 2nd partition; FAT32 and set both external sd partitions to primary.
Install link2sd app from Playstore; open it and mount the 2nd external sd partition to FAT32. Reboot. Somehow CWM able to mount the 1st partition on the external sd after reboot.
just download an old CM 10.1 and flash with it
it work for me

Ok, so I've been in the world of iPhone jailbreaking for awhile, but freely admit to being a Nookie newb. I was wanting a cheap tablet and after reading about what's available for the Nook Color, I decided to take the plunge.
All was great at frst, I made a CWM 3.2.0.1 bootable SD card on an old 1gb microSD I had laying around and loaded CM 7.1.0 RC1 and the recent June gapps and it all went fairly smoothly. I installed both CWM and CM7 to the internal memory, I then used another 4gb microSD as a data card to try things out a bit. It was awesome! I went out and purchased a 32gb class 10 card with the idea that I was now gonna get serious and load my data onto it. This was also recognized right away.
Now, I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but at some point the SD card disappeared on me. The last time I'm sure it worked is when I decided to load the #144 nightly build of CM7 when I was able to make a backup of RC1 onto the SD card before upgrading using ROM Manager
As of right now, my Nook can not mount or boot from any SD card. Not even CWM can mount them (let alone CM7). I've tried going back to the 4gb and even the 1gb bootable card, but nothing seems to work (multiple hard and soft resets into both CM and CWM). I've tried all three cards in my PC and they are all perfectly readable there, but almost no reaction from the Nook when I insert one. Occasionally (as in twice), with the 4gb card, the Nook has noticed that an SD was inserted, but it thought the card was not formatted and would not mount it. I haven't figured out how to reproduce even that reliably. Not sure what I did (if anthing) that allowed it to get that far.
Any ideas? I find it hard to believe that it could be the Nook itself that's broke, but I'm running out of ideas. My Nook is still running fine (otherwise) on CM7 nightly build #144, but without the ability to mount or boot from SD I'm stuck on this release since both ROM Manager and CWM need one to work. Not to mention that the internal storage isn't really enough to do anything with.
I'm a newb to Android and CM7, but I know Unix / Linux well. Does anyone know the device name for the sd card (e.g. /dev/hd???). Is there a way I can try and mount it manually (vold doesn't seem to be working)? Any logs I can check (syslog???) for possible clues as to why it's not mounting? Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

If your Linux experience is like mine, using Root Explorer and Terminal Emulator to poke around will be illuminating. It's all the same, but it's all different...
Did you try using Settings/Storage to erase a spare SD card? Be sure to get the SD card named SD card and not emmc (although it's pretty much unused by default, it's not what you're trying to test).
Flashing a nightly or the RC should blow away any nastiness that might have happened with vold's configuration files.
The device name for the SD card is /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (direct) or /dev/block/vold/179:17 (mine mounts here with vold).
If you get Terminal Emulator installed, try:
% su
# mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard
or
# mount /dev/block/vold/179:17 /sdcard
and see what happens.
Good luck! You might just get an errno message like No such device or No such media, in which case I'm thinking hardware failure on the NC, since your cards work elsewhere.

Catch 22, can't flash a new nightly without a working SD card. ROM Manager saves to /sdcard and CWM loads it from there. I'm trying to pull some magic where I've swapped /sdcard and /emmc in vold.fstab. This has worked and re-enabled apps that need sdcard storage (and given ROM Manager a place to download ROMs). Next, I'm gonna symlink /sdcard to /emmc and hopefully CWM will be able to apply them from there. Wish me luck.
The device name for the SD card is /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (direct) or /dev/block/vold/179:17 (mine mounts here with vold).

Thanks, I'll see if I can mount that device to /emmc for testing purposes before making the plunge to reflash a new nightly.

Can you post the output of "mount" and an ls for /dev/block and /dev/block/vold? It'll help to see what it's supposed to look like.

I'm back up! I had to re-image my bootable 1gb SD from scratch. I was then able to boot from SD and flash back to RC1. I suspect that Windows somehow "licked" my bootable SD to make it not bootable anymore in the Nook. After re-imaging the SD and flashing to RC1, my 32gb card was usable again too, so now all is good.
Thanks for the assistance!

I haven't tried it, but there is a DD version for Windows which might get around some of the issues with Windows imaging software: http://www.chrysocome.net/dd.
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.

I have Leapinlar's SD card image installed on a SD card that I used to then install the EMMC version onto my HD+ which is working great, thanks to Leapinlar and Verygreen for that. Since I don't want to misplace the SD card I've left it in my Nook, but then whenever I reboot it, it boots off of the SD card and goes into the CWM on the card. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to activate the Cyanoboot menu on the card so that I could choose to boot from the card, or the EMMC, and possibly change the default so that it boots to the EMMC instead. I realize that this might not be the right forum as it isn't necessarily a Nook question, so thanks for any help.
Edit: I should specify that I used the 4GB CWM SD card image in Leapinlar's thread, and is the one I'd like to modify. Thanks.
Ask and Ye shall receive.
Attached below is a .rar file that has four files in it. Extract those files to the boot partition of your CWM SD, replacing any duplicates. It will add the cyanoboot menu to it. It will by default boot to CWM, but if you want to boot to emmc (stock or CM10.1 on emmc), hold the n key and the cyanoboot menu will come up and you can choose stock. If you want it to boot to emmc by default, just change the Default Boot Device from "CM10/10.1" to "Stock". Then it will boot to emmc if you do nothing. Then you can boot to CWM by using the cyanoboot menu.
You rock, thanks!

but when i try to switch to the Stock BN rom living on the SD card it just says loading SD... but never continues to the BN boot animation.. or loads continues to login... it feels like a boot loop... do i have to have root access to get this to operate... i have 10.2 root but BN SD is not rooted... confused...
i would just like a boot menu to allow the option to boot to the BN SD card or default to native 10.2..

Right thread this time! So this is dual boot thread (sorry about earlier Leapin!).
Took me about five minutes to get where I'd made my mistakes though even after finding this and trying again. Now that I understand how this installs, and that stock must be in emmc, I just have one question....do I place CM 10.1 on the root of my SD card as a zipped, or unzipped, file for it to load from the menu? Or is there still more to do other than just "sticking the file on there?"
I know this much...every day I have greater & greater respect for xda developers. To be willing to explain things so even myself can understand it a little - and put up w questions - has to be a chore in and of itself. Thank you!

First you need to go to verygreen's SD thread and make the early 7.1 CWM card. The put the CM10.1 zip on internal memory using stock. Then boot with the CWM SD you just made and after it finishes preparing the SD, install the zip from internal memory. Then you can use the files in this thread to put the cyanoboot menu on that SD.

Ok, I seem to be / was good until I got to installing zip from internal memory. This is what has happened so far.
1. Created 7.1 CWM SD with win32 disc imager ...No probs
2. Not enough room on external card to place CM 10.1 zip file even though I started with 16 Gb....so I assumed you meant load CM 10.1 to Nook HD+ internal memory from my PC...no problem there.
3. This is where I got stuck: 7.1 card booted up just fine, but then I wasn't quite sure what next step was...found "install zip from internal SD" and tried that, but of course it sent the update - apparently - to emmc, as Cyanogenmod spinner logo now comes up after reboot.
So my question is how do I need to go about installing from internal memory once CWM 7.10 is running. Is there an adb command I'l need, or did I just choose wrong option?

You used the correct menu item.
If you used an sdcard version of the CM zip, it should have put it on the SD. You can tell by popping the SD out of the slot and booting. It should still boot to stock if you used the correct version. Then when you put the SD back in the slot it should boot to CM.
If you have it correct, then use the files in this thread to add the cyanoboot menu so you can boot back and forth without taking the card out.

Missing memory on SD CM10 boot
First post so I hope I'm putting this in the right place.
I have a Nook HD+ 32GB
I' ve started with Leapinlar's
[CWM/ROOT/EXTRAS] HD/HDplus Stock Root and other Mods
I've then used verygreen's
[Nook HD+] CM10.1 development for sdcard last update 09/04
All that seems to be fine but in CM10.1
Settings - storage reports internal memory 1GB and no SD memory or available mounts
x-plore reports /storage/emulated/0 and /Root as 850MB free of 1GB
Without the SD card - reverting to stock - I have 2.44GB used and 26.56GB available.
Is the 1GB apparently available on a partion on the SD card? I only had a 2GB SD going spare - this now has three partitions, the boot files and two others, one of 1GB. If I'd used a 32GB card would I have 31GB free?
But, more importantly, can anyone tell me how I get CM to give me my 32GB of internal storage back?
Please?
FWIW I expect to run CM10 from internal memory in the long run, but want to be sure that a couple of critical apps run OK before replacing the B&N stock.

Everything is as it should be. You only have 1GB for 'sdcard' since you only used a 2GB SD. If you had used a 32GB, you would have close to 31GB for 'sdcard'.
And on an SD install, the internal memory is still there but not as 'sdcard'. It shows as a folder named 'emmc'.
Since you are planning on installing CM to internal memory, it will be even different yet. 'Sdcard' will be your internal memory and your external SD will be shown as ext_sdcard.
And do not pay too much attention to the settings/storage. People get very confused when reading that since it mixes apples and oranges. (Media storage and app storage).

Finally...it worked! Thanks leapinlar, for all your help!
I encountered the situation above and am wondering if, say, instead of the 2GB card I use a 16 GB...that gives me 16 GB of storage for the CM 1.0 tablet, and my regular flash storage also stays 16 GB? Or all the apps are by default stored on the emmc?

On the SD install, both media and apps get stored on the SD. If you use a 16GB SD to install CM to, it will have about 15GB available for media and app storage instead of 1GB on the 2GB card. But 2GB is really too small to be running CM. You will be running out of app and media storage very quickly.
Since you will be dual booting, when booted to stock the media and apps will be stored on internal memory. You will either have 13GB or 28GB available on stock on emmc depending on the size of the device (16 or 32GB model).

Updating SD version of CM 10.1

Do not use settings to update an SD install. It will try to put the new ROM on internal replacing stock. Go get the latest SD ROM from the verygreen thread. You can dirty install it with the SD install's CWM.

I just finally solved it, and I hope this thread can help some other people -- thanks for the response, by the way! I have been reading some of your other posts this week, and you are the man!
So, what I ended up doing was backing up my sd card on a pc, then reformatting it. It still didn't work. But CM 12 was giving me a message every time I took the sd card out of the slot, telling to insert a card. I was exploring permission in SuperSu and CM 12, and eventually I ended up activating the "Delete Sd Card" option under storage. I didn't think it was available to me, because it was grayed out and didn't show my card anywhere. It was. I deleted it, and it must have reformatted it with a compatible file system. It works. It's letting move apps to sd card, sd card shows up in file managers, other apps and when I connect to pc.
Now, the only issue I really want to resolve is getting Google Play Games to work.
I have a rooted Fire Tablet 5th generation 5.0.1, i used the one click script and it worked like a charm. I've used Link2sd (the free version), created the 2nd partition, and moved everything I can, but it hasn't changed the amount of free space on the device, for that matter it doesn't seem to have increased the amount of space on my external sd card either, so I'm still getting out of space warning/messages. When I look at the list of programs in link2sd almost all of the programs I've added say: on sdcard, linked->sd card. I had rooted with an earlier method (not one click using twrp) and had started using link2sd then without a 2nd partition. After I used the one click script and created the 2nd partition, it's recognizing it but when I try to move something to sd card in link2sd it looks like it's sending it but it just hangs and never completes. My sd card has 11 gigs free in one partition and 2 in the other, my internal storage is down to 256mb or so. I used the debloat version of the script and have about 12 apps I've added either prior to or after the script.
Any help or direction would be appreciated.
Did you enable the links in Link2SD? You have to do this as it won't enable itself.
I have been using it and it works fine. I only have the free version currently.

Ok, this is gonna sound like a dumb question: Is it possible I set it up wrong? when I look at storage info in link2sd it shows:
internal 11% free
Sd Card 11% free
External SD 93% free
SD Card 2nd Part. 78% free
could I have setup the internal sd card (item 2 in list above) rather than the external SD (item 3)? If it's even possible to do that how can I tell? I can It be fixed or would I have to start all over?
Thanks
I just realised that I am using FolderMount, Thought it was Link2SD.
Sorry.

No worries, btw, I have been "enabling links" or "linking to SD" for everything I just haven't seen a decrease in the storage consumption on the fire's internal storage. I'm not familiar enough with the file system to be able to tell what is on the device and what is on the external sd card. When I ran the script I did choose the "de-bloat" version so I'd expected to see space free up.
Is there a decrease in free space on your SD Card?
Not as much as I would have thought but I haven't been able to add any programs or games of any size as I keep getting the out of storage message when trying to download from an appstore.
By far the biggest space consumer on internal storage is TWRP which I used to root. I'm still on 5.0.1 and my understanding is if I deleted it and ever updated to 5.1.1, at least currently, that TWRP would not work any longer. Not that I'm using it.
I've installed Link2sd but having few problems.
Just as I got everything running smooth and apps on the sd card i've started to get ' Sd card unexpectedly removed' errors which means I have to reboot each time.
Never had the error before so i'm not sure if it's link2sd causing it, or just a coincidence and that my sd card is actually failing. Tried removing the card, cleaning contacts etc.
link2sd working?
Hi,
How did you get link2sd to work?
I'm trying to get link2sd working on a Amazon fire 7 5th gen.
When I try to get the app to link to the second partition I get 'Mount script error. Mount script cannot be created. Mount no such device." I thought it was because bootloader was locked down but if you guys have link2sd working maybe I'm wrong.
I've rooted the tablet using Rootjunky's video which works well.
The os is 5.1.1

I had that problem last time my card went south. Sounds like the same for you...

When I tried this it said my device wasn't compatible. Looking for a tutorial.
UPDATE: Found a APP2SD (All in one) which did work perfectly.
