I have a Stock 16GB Nook Tablet running 1.4.0
My nook fails to boot from SD depending on the size of the first partition on the SD card. I have tried the following SD cards:
16GB microSDHC class 2 (two of them)
32GB microSDHC class 4
For example: I formatted the 16GB card using the nook tablet, and transfered the acclaim_update.zip to the root of the sd card. The nook would turn on but wouldn't load the update. However, I put a single partition on the 16GB card of just 300MB and it loaded the update and applied it.
It seems that when I have a small partition I can boot from the SD card to root the device but I want to be able to use all the space on the card. Perhaps I need to try a class 6 SD card?
Thanks for your time!
Have you verified the image that you're trying to use? Check the MD5 checksum against what's posted for that image.

I have a 32gb sd card and formatted with my nook tablet. I've tried to put the videos and photos files (over 2gb) to my device. It can be appeared first time. But some of the files disappeared after I reboot the device or connect to pc. And also I can't download some of the exter download files (almost 200mb to 1gb) from apk. I want to know it's the problem of the format method (fat 32) or my card problem? Thanks!
is that the way to partition the sd? HOw to do for nook tablet? Thanks
please help........!!!!
You do know that FAT32 will not handle a file over 4GB.....
I would format the card in a card reader on your PC and not let the Tablet do that.
It doesn't appear that he is trying to load a single file of over 4GiB, but rather that the collection is of the sizes that he mentioned.
Will FAT32 not handle a 32GiB drive, with a bunch of files of just say 50~500MiB each? Because I remember not too long ago doing just that on my PC...
FAT32 Should read just fine....hmm ...perhaps reformat the card for.another format and see if that fixes the issue? If not, your tab could have a bug somewhere. Try a factory reset
I thought the NT could only handle 16gb expandable storage. The guy in the store told me it is a combined 16gig internal and external to achieve 32gig and a 32gig card would not work.

I am using a 32gb card in my Nook at the moment. It seems to recognize the entire 32gb just fine. Worth the <$40 it cost.
And to the OP, formatting my 32gb SD card was a b***h. I had to format it in win7 as just popping it in the Nook didn't work. I formatted as FAT32. I would suspect you may need to re-format the card with a PC as other posters have suggested.
I've been using a little free program from http://www.sdcard.org called SDformatter that works great for formatting SD cards.
By the way, some of my extra download files for the game displayed as 0b. And I can't delete.

That is the suggested formatter for the SD card in the Nook Tablet based on a thread buried deep here on XDA.
I've been looking around but can't seem to find the answer to this. I have rooted my NT with a 4GB SDCard. I would like to switch to a larger card. Can I turn off my NT, remove the 4GB card. copy everything from the card to a 16 or 32 GB card, and then insert the new card and restart the NT?
If that won't work, how can I do this?
Thanks,
Bob
Turn off NT, remove the 4GB card. copy everything from the card to a 16 or 32 GB card. Must be working.
If your using this sdcard to boot from, you are probably going to have to make that partition bootable as well. Usually the windows partition abilities are pretty limited so you'll have to use one of those free partition tools out there.
I'm not booting from the SDCard - so does that mean i can change the card by simply copying all the files to the new card?
Bob
Yeah just copy everything from the 4gb card to the 32gb card and everything will work just fine
I'm having problem booting my nook from sd card, I have tried flash CWM ver. 3.2.0.1 with win32diskimage to my 16 gb microsd card. Then copy manualnooter-5.02.19.zip into sd card. I can see the files in my window7(mlo, u-boot, uimage, uramdis and manualnooter files). Put my sd card into my nook slot, power it on. It just gave me original nook screen. I followed XDA developer method a few times, nothing just gave me nook screen. With my nook I also can see all the files
I have tried several methods, used 2 gb sd card, reformatted the sd card with window7 utility (fat32), formatted with nook utility.
Is there a model from nook can't boot from sd card?
My device model #BNTV250A, software ver. 1.4.2
Please help
The Nook needs external power to boot many SD cards. Just turn your Nook off, then plug the USB power cable into the Nook and wait. It should then boot from the SD card.
I tried that, still boot to nook screen
Try a different card.
Try using the instructions and imaging file from this post "How to root 1.4.1 (or any other version) using just an sdcard {easy}" from Indirect. Sorry I can't link yet..... It is an easy to use method. Also, try playing around with different SD cards. I had to dig around and pull cards out of every camera and mp3 player to find one that would work. Not all of them do. I found a 4Gb Class 4 card that will boot every time.
Do you have an 8GB nook tablet? If so this worked for me:

I also ran this one successfully, it is for 8gb and 16gb models and it installs some additional apps that are useful:

I'm wondering if there are known problems when partitioning 32GB (Class 10) microSD cards with multiple partitions?
I'm asking because I have the same problem with two 32GB cards from different vendors. I wanted to replace the 16GB Class 2 card I'm using in my HTC Desire for A2SD (M2SD to be exact) with a 32GB Class 10.
First I bought a Transcend 32GB Class 10 and partitioned it like
1. fat32 (30750MB)
2. ext3 (1000MB)
3. swap (250MB)
I had this setup running a few days when I noticed strange behaviour and sudden application crashes. In the output of dmesg I could see I/O errors when accessing the SD card. The SD card mount points where then mounted read-only (which caused the applications to crash).
I thought the card was broken and bought a new one (also 32GB Class 10) by SanDisk. I partitioned this card the same way as before and while copying backups from the first card onto the new one (on a PC) there were again I/O errors on the new card.
Either I have very bad luck or there are known problems when partitioning 32GB microSDs with multiple partitions? For the record I didn't have any problems with the old 16GB card (it had a fat32 and ext3 partition).
What's strange however is that when the 32GB card has only one fat32 partition (the default so to say) there were no errors when copying some dummy data onto it.
i don't know, but Swap degrade the SDcard.
Hi,
I would like to run Android off of the microSD slot, so I downloaded the img file for CM7 and used Win32Imager to put it on a 8gb micro SD card. But upon power-up my nook does not recognize the SD card. I am guessing this is due to the fact that the card is not 4gb and the CM7 image is for 4gb cards? I don't have a 4gb card, how do I make the image work with 8gb card??
Also, is CM7 the right image to go with or is CM10 stable enough?
S/W Version: 1.4.2
Nook Model#: BNRV200
TIA!

Well I was a cm10 SD card detractor until last night.
For your first question, the size of the SD card won't matter though some SD cards do not work in the nook.
If you want cm10 SD version visit iamafanof.WordPress.com as succulent has all the information needed for either a self installer version or the latest files which is usually the recommended course do to the constant updates cm10 is getting.
