I tried to create a CM7 bootable SD card per the thread entitled "Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards. with updater."
I used WinImage to create the supposedly bootable SD card with the installer, placed it into my Nook which was fully off, and the Nook booted as usual instead of from the SD card.
Am I missing something? How do you boot from an SD card?
Is there such a thing as a boot choice menu like on my PC or is the default always to boot from the SD card?
Does the Nook have to be rooted for this to work?
Thanks
ETA: My PC shows the uSD card as nearly full, but my Nook shows the SD card as nearly empty (1.74 out of 1.84 GB available).
When you bought your Nook, did it have a blue sticker on the box? And does internal storage show 1GB or 5GB for you?
Also, you did drop an update CM7 zip file onto the imaged uSD before you tried booting off it right?

No blue sticker was on the box. The internal storage shows 5GB.
Yes, I had a CM7 zip file on the imaged card. (The latest encore nightly)
Interestingly, my PC shows the uSD (2 GB) as nearly full. The Nook shows it as nearly empty (1.74 out of 1.84 available).

When you burned the installer img, did you run WinImage as administrator? Also, when you put it in your reader it comes up as boot (drive letter in Windows, with files like uImage, uRamdisk, mlo, u-boot.bin, right?

Yes, I ran WinImage as administrator. And yes, it shows up in Windows explorer as boot and yes those files are there.
Could it be because my Nook operates in "factory mode," in order to skip initial registration?
You should run it and register it and setup wifi and everything first. Get the stock software working fine and dandy (its not half bad actually). Then, checkout this guide for installing CM7 onto an SD card:

It has worked for some rooting rookies so far and includes both windows and mac guides specific to SD cards.

I'm not sure, because I ran through initial registration on stock prior to running CM7 off SD --- I used the same image (verygreen's agnostic at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957) as you did without a hitch.
If you decide to run CM7 off internal sometime you're going to need to register the nook anyway.
You could try an alternate bootable SD (e.g., using an image from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13283643&postcount=34) to eliminate one of the two: a) your nook having issues booting from SD or b) your SD install is not set up correctly.
An update: I decided to try to create a bootable SD from another bootable image (MonsterRootPack with CWR). This time the nook wouldn't even turn on. I'm going to try to create a third bootable SD as angomy has suggested to see what happens.
I need to add that when I removed the uSD card, it booted normally.
Also, when I create the bootable SD with winimage, I get a dialog box that tells me that the format of the SD card is not right and asks me if I want to resize the image. But this happened on both the images. I don't know if this has anything to do with it.

Ok, I tried the CWR image in the link you gave. Same problem - no-go. Just sits there dead. I remove the uSD and it boots normally.
FWIW you do not have to boot into stock B&N at all before you setup and install to CM7 SD card. One of my NCs has never ever booted into stock ROM at all, I installed CM7 onto SD card and running off that from the moment it was unboxed.
The NC will always boot off the SD card first, so if it's booting off eMMC instead then there must be something wrong with the img that you wrote to your SD card.
Make sure that you have a freshly formatted SD card, preferably one with good small random block r/w speeds (eg Sandisk class 4 8G). Follow the instructions in verygreen's "Size Agnostic..." OP to the letter. Re-download all the files as you may have a corrupted one. Make sure to check MD5 this time. Try using Win32diskimager instead, the 0.1 version works better.
It should work. Good luck.

Thanks for the link. I have given this some thought, and it doesn't seem reasonable that booting from an SD card should depend upon the state of registration of the device because the whole idea of booting from an SD card means that the content of the SD card is loaded in the place of the stock software.

Thanks. Yes, I just replied to another poster that I didn't think that the state of registration of the device should matter since the whole purpose of a bootable SD card is to load the contents of the SD in place of the stock.
I have followed the instructions in verygreen's thread to the letter - several times. Also, I have tried to make other bootable SDs without success. But that's a good idea about trying Win32diskimager. Also, I will try a Sandisk class 4 card SD as soon as I can get to a store.
I do have a question. When I format the SD card what "allocation unit size" should I be using? (formatting through Windows) The default is 32 kb.
PROBLEM SOLVED!
Thanks to everyone for trying to help me figure this out. The winning idea belongs to robot8.
When I switched from using WinImage to using Win32diskimager, it worked immediately. I am now running CM7 on my Nook Color! Took forever and a day to boot though.
Congrats!
Re: allocation unit size, do you mean cluster size? Depends on how big the FAT32 partition is --- larger clusters used means more actual space used but too large a size can reduce access speed. Generally Windows defaults to suggested 4k for up to 8GB, 8GB-16GB = 8k, 16-32GB = 16k, and 32+ = 32kb.
Also the first boot is the longest --- shouldn't take as long after that. Welcome to CM7 - I don't regret installing it over stock after waffling for weeks on whether or not I'd use stock at some point -- CM7 is just too much faster with too many more options and tweaks for my impatience to deal with stock Froyo.
THANK YOU OP!
I had the same issue, tried 20x various ways, 2 different computers, 2 different SD readers, and it was WinImage that wasnt working correctly. Win32DiskImager solved it.
Thanks.

Thanks so much! This finally got it to work for me too. Loving my new Android tablet
FWIW, WinImage does not work. Maybe it used to work, but it does not now. I posted about this a few days ago here.
Hi. I am awaiting delivery of a new NC which I ordered after reading about "nooting" and running Honeycomb etc. I am a total noob and trying to get my head round all the different procedures has left me a bit confused! Can someone tell me if I'm right in the following : 1) My new NC should be (or will be after connecting to WiFi) system version 1.3. 2) If it is, and I do not want to mess with the internal ROM/booting/processes, it is possible to install HC on a 4Gb SD card along with an "img" file called phiremod 6.2 (available from :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045018) in order to burn an image to the SD card that can just be stuck in and which will allow me to boot the NC into Honeycomb OR Phiremod depending on how the Nook's start button is pressed. 3) If I just want to use the original system, I can then just remove the SD card before powering on. I.e "Nooting" is not necessary if you go for the dual boot system? If I am right in the above, is there an up to date HC/phiremod image file for the Nook 1.3 as of this month (i'e newer than the one mentioned above) and could someone kindly point me to it?? Many thanks to all in advance, and sorry if this has been asked, but the info here is overwhelming!
That's what I did with mine. I'm running the Dual-Boot Phiremod 6.2 and Honeycomb from the SD card. The nice thing is with that image is the boot menu also gives you the option to boot from eMMC so you don't have to remove the SD card to boot into the stock OS.
Hi,
Having a with a Nook where it will not complete boot of CM7 which is installed on an SD card. Instead it boots into the Nook Color software.
I hold down the power button till I see the green Cyanogenmod logo with the Loading text, which I think means it is booting from the SD card (I can get it to boot into CM recover), then the screen goes blank and something goes wrong and the boot process continous with the 'n' screen and eventually loads the Nook boot animation and ends with the Nook software loaded. The nook software seems to be running fine except I can't get the SD card to boot all the way.
I've tried 2 known good SD cards, which boot without problems on my second nook, so I know it is not the SD card. I suspect something got corrupted with the boot process files, so I have been trying to find a way to overwrite the existing files with a virgin copy.
1) Can't get ADB running, I suspect the ADB route is only possible if I have the nook booting in a rooted CM7 in the first place (if some one could confirm that would help)
2) I have tried the x8 boot fail reset as well as the erase and deregister option in the nook software with no change in the above behaviour.
3) My last hope is to do an update back to stock using the recovery mode of the SD card. I can copy an updater file to the small partition of the SD card that is visible on Windows. I found a 1.2 stock updater, but it is ~200MB which is too big to fit on the SD card. If someone could point me to a smaller updater or a sd image with CWM and >200MB space that would be very helpful. TY!
What exactly are you trying to do? If you are just trying to set up dual-boot of CM off of your SD card, you don't need to do anything to the stock B&N internal install. I've had good luck using the procedure in the [ROM][CM7] [v1.3] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards thread.
Are you sure the initial CM install on your SD card went well? It's known to be very particular (see top of that thread) about what SD cards work. The first few times I tried, I didn't realize there were error when CM was initially extracted which led to similar failures. From what you've described, the SD setup is failing. Normally, you don't need to worry too much about what's on the internal emmc setup of the Nook Color.

Hi bobsto, some background. I've been using CM7 on a microSD for several weeks now. I dual boot between Nook SW and CM7 that way. I've been using the link you posted above to create the SD cards and so far I have not had to touch the eMMC files at all.
Then a friend messed around with the Nook I gave them with CM7 on an SD card. I don't what the friend did, but when I got the Nook back it would not boot into CM7. I pulled my SD card from my working Nook and it wouldn't work either. So I'm guessing someone screwed with the Nook internal files. So I am trying the factory restore of the Nook SW to see if that will fix the problem and allow me to load CM7 from the SD card again. Interestingly Nookie will boot from SD and CM7 won't. Still trying stuff to see what will fix the problem. Suggestions are welcome.

Gosh, I wish someone could figure this out.
I restored original stock after a full CM7 root and it went fine but I can NOT get a dual boot sd card to work.
It seems to install but when I reboot it shows CM7 screen briefly then always boots to Nook OS.
Tried many many different cards and image writers and CM7's and even a card from my other Nook which I know works.
It will not boot into the CM7 from the SDcard.
Any help?

Problem: ClockworkMod not booting from MicroSD card
What I'm trying to do: Dual-boot CyanogenMod 7 with the stock Nook Color with Cyanogen 7 on a MicroSD card, but without rooting the Nook Color.
What I've done so far:
1. Downloaded ClockworkMod 3.2.0.1 from download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.2.0.1-encore.img
2. Downloaded Win32DiskImager from launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/trunk/0.3/+download/win32diskimager-RELEASE-0.3-r27-binary.zip
3. Using Win32DiskImager, flashed ClockworkMod onto the MicroSD card.
4. Ejected MicroSD card.
5. Inserted MicroSD card into Nook Color (which is turned off)
6. Connected Nook Color to PC via USB cable
7. Powered on Nook Color
8. Watched as standard Nook Color boots. Nothing at all displays related to ClockworkMod.
Other troubleshooting thus far
a. I've gone back to step 3, used Windows 7 to just format the SD card to ensure it was blank, and then started with Step 3 again.
b. I've ensured the MicroSD card is set properly into the Nook Color.
c. I've tried holding down the power key on the Nook Color (no effect).
d. Searched these forums via its Search function, and searched via Google (most references use ClockworkMod 3.0.2.8, which a few posts mention does not work on the "blue dot" version of Nook Color.
Misc:
MicroSD card: SanDisk Type-2 4GB
Nook Color (the "blue-dot" version that starts with a 1GB partition for side-loading)
PC: Windows 7 64-bit, built-in SD card reader/writer
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

If all you're trying to do is setup a bootable SD card with CM7 on it, and retain the ability to also boot to the stock Nook ROM, try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
Based on "What I'm trying to do" and "What I've done so far", you are heading to the completely wrong direction.
A good thing is you had not been able to get into CwM Recovery, otherwise, you made a mess of your NC.
Just stop "what you've done so far" and follow the link that shumash provided above.

Installing image for CM7
I have a nook color that was purchased just a week ago and had 1.4.0 firmware on it. I had updated it to 1.4.1 before noticing that this particular firmware blocked the nook from being hacked. I had read in one of the threads how to revert back to 1.4.0, adding acclaim.zip file to the sd card would do the trick. I tried this and when my nook went to sleep, nothing. I ended up using the nook-complete-restore-1.0.1.zip with a clockworkmod recovery file and followed steps provided in other threads. Then I was stuck at the "n" screen and could not get any further. With an additional 8 Factory resets and doing the complete restore a second time I was able to get back to what I believe is factory. The difference is, out of the box I had 1.4.0 and now I have 1.3.0. I believe this is fine.
I am wanting to put CM7 with google apps on my nook. I have read a thread that suggested putting an agnostic size image file and when used, my 16gb sd card went down to >200 mb. What is a good image file to use for my card or what am I doing wrong? I am using Win32DiskImager to write my images. I have tried generic-sdcard.img for both 1.1 and 1.3 and the above still happens. I loose over 14gb of space.
I have downloaded the following to use once I have figured out what image to use. update-cm-7.1.0-encore-signed.zip for my CM7 and gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip for my google apps.
Thanks for all the hard work that is put into making our nook experience the best!!!

If you're installing CM anyhow, the version of B&N running is not important, correct.

You might want to check out CM 7.2 RC0 Mirage (search here). It incorporated all of the fixes and some optimizations up through CM n253.
I am wanting to install CM to SD for dual boot. I have completed the process for adding the image to my card. The problem is that, after adding the image I now have 115mb on my 16gb card. If, I go ahead and install to my SD card will the space on the card be opened up or do I have to do something else?

If you're getting that 115mb number from your PC card reader on Windows, that's misleading because that's just the size of the boot partition. There are other partitions on the card that take up space and are formatted to be used by CM7. Boot into CM7 on the SD card and see how much space you've got on the /sdcard partition. It should be many gb.
To see how the card is partitioned and the sizes in Windows, get Easeus Partition Master. It's free. If the last partition (the 4th) isn't fully allocated, use Easeus to do it. Don't resize any of the other partitions until you really know what you're doing.

Trying to prepare 32gb card for nook cm7
Using verigreen's size agnostic img
Wrote it to the card using win image writer
dropped cm7 and gapps
on boot it recognizes card, makes partitions, inflats stuff everything looks ok
on reboot it does NOT boot from sd
instead goes to nook default
exact same stuff on 8gb card works fine
what gives?
I have two nooks at this point
both may have cwm recovery - i dont know how to check
(I know how to use nook, update it etc, but not sure about this cwr thingy)
one has cm7.1 on emmc
other has nook 1.2 rom on emmc
in both of them if i insert 8/16/32gb card
1) if sd card has fresh verygreen image with update...zip and gapps..zip installer kicks in and preps sd card
2) once i reboot, it ---- does NOT ---- boot from sd card anymore
All I want is bootable sd card with cm7.1 on it so that I can give it to a friend of mine
what am I doing wrong
is there a way to force nook to boot from sd card?
I think if it finds cwr on emmc and cwr on sd, it boots from emmc or something
I use win32diskimager which I think gives more reliable results.
Also you must mount the card in a PC for writing the image using a real USB / SD adapter. Using a card media slot on the PC or using another device like a phone to mount the card are known to give problems.

Only put the CM7 zip file on it for the first boot.
use easeus partition software to extend the size of the boot partition to 200 MB after you flash the card with verygreens installer, but before you put cm7 and gapps on there.
I bet you it fails to write the kernel during the install because there is insufficient space - try it again without resizing and pay attention to the readout when it scrolls down the screen, you'll see.
cm7.1 + gapps is almost your whole boot partition, for me it leaves only half a megabyte of free space - that's not enough to unpack and install what's needed.

Sorry for the OP but also happy for you that your NC is up and running.
I keep saying many times, do it one at a time.

Sorry to bring this thread back but I'm having the same problem using verygreen's tutorial on my NC 1.3. However after booting the NC I get the "cyanogen mod loading..." screen shortly followed by a blank screen (Nook doesn't turn off, though). If I remove the SD card the nook starts up as it normally would.
Followed the advice of these other members (extended partition size to 16gb/16gb, haven't installed gapps either) but I still can't get it to work.
I'm using the latest nightly release of CM7 following the link on verygreen's tutorial released on 11/23. Should I use a stable version instead?
Thanks...

There's where you made your mistake. The recommendations of the others on the forum were probably to expand the partition created by verygreen's image to something like 200MB or 250MB. The scripts in the image create and format 3 other partitions in addition to the one created by verygreen's image. When you expanded it to the full size of the SD card there was no room to create the additional partitions.
I would suggest you re-apply verygreen's image, expand it to 250MB and try again.

Touchscreen Problems
Hello,
I have tried doing this several times, and I get no response from the touchscreen. Everything else works perfectly, but the touchscreen won't respond.
Please help.
Update on Touchscreen Issue
CM7 works fine off the 8GB. Is there something different you have to do to get the 32 to work?

****BRAND NEW NOOK COLORS (Dec 2011+/Jan 2012+ are now shipping with a different touchscreen/digitizer (same as used in the nook tablet). As of now this driver is not included in CM7, you are welcome to try to flash CM7, if your touchscreen is unresponsive, restore to stock or flash CM9. CM9 will work as the driver is included.***
It appears that 7.1 works, as well as the most recent nightly from Nov.
