A while back I followed the directions to create an SD card bootable cm7 (from nightly). Everything worked perfect and with the card in it booted to cm7 and without it back to stock (rooted 1.0.1). When bn released 1.2 I decided to try it and re-partitioned my sd card to a single fat32. I used the adb method to indicate 8 failed boot attempts and restored the nc to stock then did a factory reset through settings. I was then able to install 1.2 downloaded from bn website. My assumption was that my nc was now 100% stock but it doesn't seem that this is the case. I now have a new sd card (not the same as I had first used) and tried to run cm7.0.3 using the same method as before. I downloaded the 1.1 version of the cm7 installer sd image and after writing it to the card I copied over the cm7.0.3 for encore rom. I put the sd card in my nc expecting to boot up to an install but instead it booted my old nightly build, wallpaper and apps intact. How do I remove this old installation and why was it not running strictly from the SD card?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am trying to get CM7 to boot on my NC with an sd card, using these instructions:

I get as far as this part
"shutdown your nook and take the SD card out, insert it into your computer.
Copy the gapps-... file to the SD card on the first partition (titled boot) without changing the file name".
When I take the card out of my NC and put it back in my laptop to install market and gapps, it says it needs to be formatted before I can use it. The files that were on it before (the installer image and the nightly build) seem to have been deleted from the card by my nook. Any suggestions?
Remove then reinsert a few more times, if still persists, try to use a usb-sd adapter.
Just to confirm, when you inserted the card with the nightly build into the NC and powered on, you did see messages saying it was installing CM7, correct?
Were you then able to boot into CM7 and set up Wi-Fi before removing the card to copy over gapps?
If the above are not the case, it's very likely your laptop never properly wrote the image to the card in the first place. Even if you did everything right, many people report difficulty with the all-in-1 card readers on their laptops, and need a separate USB reader.
Some things you may not have done right:
Did you unzip the compressed .gz archive of the disk image?
Did you write the resulting .img file to the SD card using a program such as WinImage?
I'm assuming you're using a Windows machine. If not, let us know what OS you're using and what steps you took to write the image, and what results you got when inserting the card in the NC.
Thank you for your replies, but I figured it out. My laptop wasn't recognizing my sd card after I took it out of my nook, but when I put the card in my droid, it saw that the files were there. I added the apps file using my phone and when I went to install them on the nook it worked. Took me five hours to figure this all out but I finally got it. Thanks again.
I am currently using mn 4.6.16 on internal.
I had previously (and quite successfully) tried stock 1.2 on an sd card while I ran CM 7.0.3 or Phiremod 6.3 internally.
I just tried the new 1.3 zip on an sd card burned with cm 3.0.2.8 and the install action aborted.
Is anyone working on a 1.3 image similar to the following that was done for v1.2?

My aim is to experiment with doing a mn to the sd card without distubing my current stable mn settings.
Thanks in advance.
I tried to follow this nice guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045018
my Basics: original 1.2 nook color (using with SD CM7)
1) put a 8 GB SanDisk Class4 MicroSD in a card reader
2) format it with Panasonic SD Formatter
3) burned the "1gb_clockwork-3.2.0.1-eyeballer.img" on the SD using win32diskimager-RELEASE-0.1-r15-win32 (also tried win32diskimager-RELEASE-0.3-r27-binary)
4) copied phiremod-nook-v7-TEST-DualbootSD-CWM-package.zip on the SD card
5) put it in back into the nook and it booted into CWM
6) installed zip from SD and reboot
Result: some tries it just boot into CWM again (with SD inside) and sometimes it boots into Stock rom.
What did I do wrong or missunderstood?
Thanks!
1. The link shown setup dual-boot for uSD card, not on eMMC
2. As long as you left the CwM uSD card inside the NC and boot it, it will and should ALWAYS boot into CwM Recovery.
so what i need to change to put the Rom un my uSD card?
What did I do wrong?
I dont remove the SD card throughout the whole process of formating, imaging, and copying files over to it while it is in the Nook for installing CM7/CM9. I boot to internal Nook software and format the card through the Nook. Then I image it with the appropriate image. I resize it if necessary and copy the installation files over to it and then restart it. I do this because I have had problems unmounting it in the PC and then remounting it again to put files on it from the PC. If you need to add files to the boot parition later on, I just reboot to internal Nook and mount the SD card on PC through Nook software. Works great for me since I hated taking the card out all the time.
Yesterday I installed CM9 to a bootable sd card and my 2 biggest problems with this setup are: can't seem to get a usb hookup to a Windows PC working for either boot or sdcard, and can't get Adobe Flash to work. Anyone else?

Flash does not work yet on CM9. Dunno about the USB..I don't use it.
I am using a recent ICS nightly and have the same problem. It worked on an earlier install so this may be something with the current nightly. One work around is just to boot into stock nook and then connect.
When trying to install Tezet's CM10, I came across a problem with my CWM install, and was wondering if anyone was able to help me with recovering from it. When I go to choose SIP from SD card, it says unable to mount SD card, and in the logs it is unable to find find the SD card (cant remember the exact device, but was /deb/block/mmc...), but in android the SD card is on /dev/block/vold/179:1. I believe the problem would have originated when I tried the CM9 rom (went from CM7 to CM9, decided it wasn't for me at that stage due to being a bit to unstable still, so went back to CM7 and haven't flashed any roms since.
How can I go about installing an older version of CWM that is compatible with CM7, to be able to mount the SD card again, so that I can try the new mod. Everything I have read installs CWM from SD card, which is not an option for me, for obvious reasons.
Thanks in advance.
