For some reason, I've put clockworkmod on my device and always use it to flash.
I have a 16gb Sandisk memory card, which at first worked fine with it.
All of a sudden, a Gingerbread ROM claimed the card to be corrupt?! So, I used Gingerbread to format.
Tried to do an update, and now the card isn't recognised by the A2SD setting of MAGDLR 1.1. I have to use a 4gb to flash now.
I tried formatting the 16gb card in windows (fat 32, 32k sizes), reapply the cwkmd files to the card, but still, MAGDLR won't load it.
Any ideas :-/

Did you do a quick format or a full format? If Quick, plz do a full, and try again.
Also, don't use the right-click format method. Go into disk management and do it there. Not promising anything - it's just better.
I found a bug in MAGLDR in my case. It would try and load CWM by K:\Recov\zImage then would write S and boot back to MAGLDR main menu. So here's what I did:
- Boot MAGLDR
- Click Load AD SD (Fails)
- Remove SD card while booted
- Click Load AD SD (fails again obviously)
- Put SD back in
- Click Load AD SD (Works)
Try that. Seems like an MAGLDR bug to be honest, because after setting the SD path, you can't edit it again... Even after flashing MAGLDR back to the phone (I've tried). I guess flashing stock WinMo then flashing back MAGLDR could fix the issue, but I haven't bothered.
I seldom have problems with MicroSD Cards, then again, I usually tend to buy Class 2 MicroSD cards that perform higher than Class 2 in terms of sequential writes. So, my MicroSD card writes at 7.x MB/s although it is a Class 2.
Anyways, try using a WIPE application, something that ZEROES out the whole card. Like the SD Formatter 3.0 (Beta) for SD/SDHC/SDXC. For me, I prefer to use [email protected] Disk.
Once the card is ZEROED out, just use your GParted to Partition it, if you need to. If not, just do a full format in Windows.
Ultimate Boot CD is an ISO which has a USB Script. So you just extract the ISO, then run the CD2USB script to make a bootable USB Flash Drive with a lot of useful tools.

I had the same issue - 8GB MicroSD. Tried manual formatting, re-setting the card TNA. [email protected] Disk did not work either, but SD Formatter 3.0 worked perfectly!
Thanks a lot for this tip!
There are a few steps you can try to get your card working again.
1 - Full format, I know it has been mentioned but it is surprising how much a full format can help
2 - Try a non Microsoft tool like 'Panasonic SD Formatter', google it. I wipes out any partitions as well.
3 - 'Partition Wizard' for Windows. This is a great alternative to Gparted but for Windows and free.
4 - If all these fail, then it dont hurt to try Gparted, I dont see it will help but you never know.
All of those failing and it is a new card, get a refund.
I recently bought a 16GB from Ebay and they sent refund without even asking for the card back so I know you can get some dodgy Micro SD Cards.
Good luck
Yep - the Panasonic SD formatter fixed it using a Full 0's write! Many thanks to all.
update your magldr to 1.12 and try it it worked for me using 16gb class 2
YOU MIGHT want to RESET your device in NAND
that could also help when troubles arrive

I had a problem getting CWM to load also. It finally worked once I deleted the volume name and reformatted.
After formatting my sd card with a honeycomb image using ecm, how do I get it back to the full 8gb? Do I need to use the hp format tool? or was there something with files?
nvm, just formatting from nook worked and i think i meant windows32diskimaginer (or dd) not ecm.
i have the same problem i installed Honeycomb on my nook to try it out and now i want to try out CM7. but my windows xp wants me to format the SD card when i try to transfer the CM7 and Goggle apps . i tried to format in honeycomb but it bugs and does nothing. any suggestions for a noob.
thanks

Got an Android phone? I hear that works as well.
There is information around the web telling you to place your SD Card in your nook and go into settings, device info, unmount the SD, and then format it. This works using the auto-nooter process. Any mod requiring an EXT.4 partition (CyanogenMod, PhireMod, HoneyComb) will not allow this simple procedure. You`ll need software to format your SD card. We recommend using this tool built by the SD card manufacturers association. It is free and simple to use. You can download it here.
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/
There are also reports that putting the Sd card in a USB reader works. I experienced this too. Internal reader = "card not formatted", USB reader = success.
Cheers,

I use SD Formatter. works great
Hi all,
It seems that I'm having a bit trouble with writing the image to my SD card. I'm using a 16GB currently with Honeycomb on it, but after the image finished writing, my card size is reduced to 105MB free out of 150MBish. I tried to get the CM7 boot to work on a 2GB card, after the "generic" img finished writing on the card, it gets the same free 105MB, and I can't copy the CM7 files onto the card because those files are 115MB total.
I tried partitioning the card but it's still the same, and the computer isn't able to see the second partition that's not the main one. Is anyone having this issue and/or know how I can fix it? Much appreciated.
Cheers,

Very much a known issue... to work around this:
1. Write the image to SD
2. Resize boot partition (only one on it so far) to anything up to 2 GB.. I recommend keeping it less than 2 GB for compatability
3. Put your ROM on the boot partition
4. Put SD in nook and boot it up
Hey thanks!
So for some reason I was able to follow this post and root my Nook http://www.informationweek.com/byte/howto/231002060
I used the 2GB card again and this time after writing the image to it I still have 1.75ishGB left and the file didn't take up the whole card like it did previously. Was able to boot up CWM and flash CM7.
But I'm running into another problem, which is my 16GB card, no matter how I format it, the Nook would not recognize that it's mounted. And when it does show up in the system, it only sees about 1.5GB, and the card is completely empty. I'm really stuck here, is this another known problem?

What are you using to format it? What format, FAT32? What was on it before? What shows up when in a reader on your PC?
I used EASEUS and also just window to format the card. It's in FAT32 and my PC sees it as a removable storage device just fine, all 14.5GB of it.
LOL
Honestly, the OP does drive me nut
I want to help but I can't follow what he said.
16GB SD, 2GB SD, what?
If you, OP, still need help, then pls clearly indicate what your problem is and what you intend to accomplish.

EASEUS does help a lot (ext4) but I would then suggest never using Windows to format a uSD. This works much better IMO to get a good format.
>>> UPDATE: Issue Resolved <<<
I have been working at this for a while and can't figure out why it's not booting. Here's what I am doing:
1) Write the image (generic-sdcard-v1.3-ICS-large.img) to your SD card using WinImage (Windows 7).
SanDisk microSDHC 8GB class4
WinImage error message:
the current image format is not supported by the disk drive E:
it will be resized
disck is not empty, all data on your disk will be lost
do you want to continue?
2) eject and then re-insert the uSD card into computer.
3) Copy the nightly file (update-encore-20120220.zip) to SD card
4) unmount the uSD card and insert it into the nook.
5) press power button (or N button), boots to Nook-OS
trying to follow these instructions...

I'm not totally sure about the way you are going about it. I did that method once about 9 months ago, and just can't remember the details. However, I would recommend trying racks triple boot sd card method. It burns CM7 and CM9 (ICS) onto the SD card, and leaves EMMC alone. It was pretty simple, and you'll have the ability to choose which to boot into. The CM7 is super stable, and will work as your daily driver. The CM9 has a few things that still need to be worked out, but I've actually been using it more than the CM7. Here's the link to that method;

I'd use Win32DiskImager for step 1. Plus use a real USB SD card adapter. If you are using an SD card slot built into the computer that is likely to be why you are not getting a bootable card.
I was having the same issue and using win32diskimager did it for me. Thanks!
SD card format required
This memory card is unrecognized and needs to be formatted. [Cancel] [Format Now]
it sure looks like you have been skipping the same step from your two posts. If you're asking, yeah, go ahead and format the disk before burning the image. You will lose whatever is on the disk, that is what the error is saying.
It is a warning and is double checking before it continues. Not really an error, per se.
Thanks crapid, I will try that next.
Thanks bobtidey, I have ordered a Transcend TS-RDP5K USB 2.0 Card Reader and see if that helps next time. But I think Win32DiskImager did the trick. I loaded Win32DiskImager and it wrote to the microSD card. I booted the Nook and it loaded (second time) and installed ICS!
BTW: I think noobs need a Sticky Thread on How To Boot the Nook Color.
And apparently there are restrictions on noobs posting into their own threads. Which is why my last post was incomplete, sorry.
Thanks for all the help.

Good to hear your progressing. The advice about using a real USB card reader is because some SD card media slots built into computers seem to have issues creating bootable cards. Some work, some don't. Also applies to writing the SD image via a phone/tablet connected by USB to the computer. Some models will work, others cause problems. Of all the methods vanilla USB readers seem to be problem free in this area.
Hi guys, long time reader and first time poster here with a question. I apologize in advance if this has been asked and answered, but I have searched throughout the nook forums and have not found a solution yet to my problem and any help is greatly appreciated.
I have been wanting to use CM10 as my daily driver on my nook for awhile now, however everytime I flash the ROM and get things set up, I run into an issue where the ROM does not consider my SD card to be mounted. I have adjusted the settings to be set to Mass USB Storage as one person suggested in the development thread, I have formatted it numerous times to try to see if that was causing the issue, and so far nothing has worked.
I know that the SD card that is in my nook is good as it shows up in ICS without any problems. Does anyone else have any idea on what I could try to get the SD card to mount properly in CM10?
Thanks again for any help, and many apologies if this is answered in another thread.

When you say mounted, you mean you cannot see it under storage devices within CM10? It does not show up in your file manager? That USB mass storage setting is just for seeing on your PC when you plug the USB cable in. It has nothing to do with seeing the card in CM10. And you tried formatting several times you said. How did you format it? In the PC with windows? You need to try SDFormatter which is a free windows program on the web. Other users have said that that makes them show up on the Nook. When the nook first starts up, it tries to read the SD and scan it, if it can't, it won't mount it. There could be something very simple wrong with the card that the nook sees and your PC does not.

Leap,
I have to apologize, I used the wrong terminology in my original post. It seems that the issue I am having is with the SD card being stuck in RO mode and not being able to write to it from CM10. Anything that I have tried to download via the Play Store fails to install with an error saying that it could not install to USB Storage or SD Card. I have formatted the card via Windows, CWM, and using the SDFormatter program to no avail. I have also tried to fix permissions via CWM and Rom Manager and that has not resulted in resolving the issue that I seem to be having. I love the speed at which CM10 runs, and if I can get the SD Card to be RW it would easily replace the ICS build that I've been using forever now, I just don't know what else I can try to get the card to be RW while running CM10.

The problem is CM10 is very finicky about the format on the card. If it does not like it, it mounts it read only. Look for SDFormatter on the web and format with that. Should fix it.
Edit, I just reread and said you tried that. That should have fixed it. Do it again but turn off quick format.

Leap,
Thank you for all the help you've provided, however it doesn't seem that doing a long format with overwrite in SD Formatter got it to work. I'm going to retreat back to ICS for now.

Just a question, after you format the card, do you move any files in it? I had the same exact problem and it must have been a defective file in my titanium backup folder because I had no problem using the same sd when I synch'd titanium via dropbox.
I installed the 19/11 nightly and it is better than anything I ever run on nook. even CM7
Tschumi,
After I finish formatting it via SD Formatter, I place it back into the nook completely blank and reboot the nook. After that, I try to download anything from the play store that requires SD install and it fails to install.

Use ROM Manager and select "Format SD card" which will allow apps to install. Nook will reboot into CWM and begin formatting SD card. Be FOREWARNED! You will lose anything you have stored on the SD card so make a backup and trasnsfer to your PC or somewhere you can later retrieve.
Ok so here's an update on this issue for me. It appears that no matter how many times I used SD Formatter to format my 16Gb micro sd card, it would not be recognized by CM10. I grabbed an old 8Gb micro SD card and threw it in my nook and it worked perfectly, so it appears that there's an underlying issue with the card itself that was causing the problems. Thanks to everyone for the tips and advice on how to fix this issue for me. I appreciate it.

I am having the same issue with my 16GB Patriot microSD card. The card is recognized, but always displays as full (26GB used) in the settings menu. I have reformatted numerous times to no avail. I have an old 4GB card in there now with no issues.

It is that Patriot brand and CM10. CM10 is very finicky about sdcards. If it does not like how one performs, it changes it to read only. You can try formatting the card with SDFormatter, which you can get free on the web. That may help, but it may not.
