Nook Tablet -- Run Android off 8gb MicroSD card. - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

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.

[Q] Change SDCard?

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

[Q] Won't boot depending on SD card partition size

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!

[Q] NT CM7 internal is using ext. sd card for storage rather than internal

I have a 16gb NT which I started out with CM7 running off the ext. sd card. Loved it so I decided to load it on the internal. Well after doing that, CM7 uses only the ext. sd card (8gb microsd) rather than the internal memory. I can still boot to CM7 without the ext. sd card, but I cannot install apps and what not.
I am familiar with android but I'm not expert. I feel like its so sort of partitioning issue, and I'm sure its been covered before but I just can't find the right answer.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

[Q]

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:

Can't reply to the first. The second is easy. Buy a 8gb SD card. They are cheap
I figured it out, I had to flash cwm to the SD card and move the cm and Gapps zip to the SD card, I was tryna flash cm to the SD card
