WP7 on HD2 booted via SD card, similar to Android. Or maybe a dual ROM with WM 6.5.x and WP7? Find a way to re-portion the SD card so WP7 doesn't take up the whole thing, and have enough to run a RAM Android ROM as well??
Here is how you run wp7 and android from the same card:

Cotulla is trying to make wm6.5 boot from sd card. Watch the magldr thread for updates.

I don't think anyone is trying to get wp7 running from sd card at this moment but I could be wrong

i currently running wm7 on nand and i wanna put andoid on sd. is it possible?
thanks
Yes, it is possible.
This will tell you what you need to get your SD card ready...

And then you just need to get yourself an SD Android build that is suitable for booting from Magldr. (I believe you can modify any SD build so Magldr can boot it, so just search the HD2 Android SD forum for that info).
I installed WM7 on my HD2 that was running a custom 6.5 rom.
After I installed it though, WM7 keeps telling me that there isn't a lot of space. When I checked, there's only 6.5mb free. Is there a way the old ROM is still under WM7, thus taking up so much space?
I always had a ton of space on 6.5 to install apps/games/etc. (I did a "factory reset" of wm7 annnnd then it sent my phone into a never-ending bootcycle.)
So my question is, how do I wipe completely the old WM 6.5 ROM to fresh install 7 and save all of that space?
Also, my old boot image from 6.5 still shows up when 7 was booted.
Check your SD card. Might not be compatible.
There's actually no SD card in there. I'm talking about just the straight up phone storage.
(I'm using my 16g SD card for my Android phone and don't feel like backing up/reformatting right now).
That is why. WP7 requires a sd card to be in the phone so it can use it as if it were internal storage.
Oh gotcha.
If I just have my SD card inserted when I flash WP7, will it do the rest for me?
And does the SD card need to then remain in the phone for it to work properly?

Yes, you need the sd card in there when you first boot wp7 (you don't need to reflash, just hard reset it with card in), and the card must remain in the phone anytime you have wp7 on. If you turn on wp7 without the card or take it out while booted in to wp7, you will have to restart. Also, wp7 will format and make the card only readable by wp7... you can't take the card out to use with a card reader or for anything else. It's only usable with wp7.
yea i saw somewhere that the WP7 regular phones with sd slots make the memory "expandable" but as it formats and uses it in conjunction with the nand partition it is not "removable"...
Which is why the HD2 has a couple of plus points compared to a native HD7 in which the sd card is actually hidden underneath all the casing which you cant access..

You just have to copy the sd android build to your sd card. Then in magldr, choose which folder has the android build you want to boot and then boot ad sd. When you install wp7, it will copy over your NAND android, and if you want to use one sd card for both wp7 and android, you will have to partition your sd card correctly so wp7 doesn't take up the whole card. There are threads about it in the sd android dev section and the hd2 wp7 sections.

Great Thanks I did it and i worked!
I got another question,
If I am istalling Android NAND, can i install after that WP7 SD, and make the Android the default?
I have nand wp7 and sd android, partition the tf, two partitions 12GB fat32 for android, 2GB for wp7(unformatted fat16). The magldr can't recognize my card(I can not set the android folder and find this problem). I find a way to solve: take out the card and then push into phone again when in the magldr. But this way makes me crazy because everytime I restart the phone I must do the thing above again or I can't use the card in wp7 even can't boot the sd android.
Can someone help me to avoid this, thx first
