1) When I connect my nook color to the USB cable, the ROM and the SD-Card don't get detected.
I tried once again to remove the card, boot Nook, then insert the SD-Card; then I connected the USB cable and the SD-Card got detected.
What's the problem?
2) When I connect through Nook's OS, the 8GB SD-Card appears to have 109MB Free of 115MB.
I can't help with the first one, but the second one - seems to be how the card is partitioned, it is only looking at the first partition.

Hello,
I'm having issues with my Micro SDHC 8GB card (class 6). Whenever I connect the MicroSD card to my diamond2 phone, it works for a while and then it disconnects (the phone does not detect that there is a microSD card connected). To get my phone to detect the card, I either manually remove the card from the phone and insert it back in, and if that doesn't work, I soft reset.
I don't think its because of the card since it works flawlessly on my computer and I don't think its from the ROM, since before updating to Dutty ROMS, I used to get the same issue.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards
Your card is likely going bad. The phone will lose it first then the PC.
You may want to back it up and reformat it.
I just lost my SanDisk 16gb after multiple times of reformatting it and eventually is would crash again. No physical damage to the card. Just couldn't take the rewriting and deletions....
Connection mode issue
When you connect your USB. You have 3 options. Active sync, internet sharing or Disk drive. I think your's might be in the disk drive mode. So it doesnt read in your windows as HTC Hero drive. But check out if there is another extra drive that shows on your My Computer. If it is so, select the option Active sync and you can see your Micro SD card there.
Thanks,
Raj
Much help would be appreciated. Total new experience for me.
I have cm7 stable on sd of my nook color. I have everything up and running great. trying to overclock and when I take my sd card out of nook and put into laptop, it asks me to format it. It is not allowing me to copy the kernal to my sd card. Is there another way of doing this?
While inserted in my laptop, I look at the properties of the sd card and it is showing to be in raw format.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Are you unmounting the SD card before you eject it? Also, are you sure the FS on your SD is FAT32?
When I originally formatted the card before I burned the installer and the cm file on the card it was formatted to a fat16.
I have not unmounted the card prior to ejecting. I will give that a try.
okay I unmounted before ejecting... put into laptop and the laptop is still wanting to format the card.
when I look at the properties it says file system is raw, and storage space is 0mb.
Maybe your card reader couldn't read microSDHC card?
With CM7 running off a uSD which I am doing as well, some built in laptop readers will not read the uSD but it may be read with a USB reader. But, it will typically only read the 1st partition which is the Boot partition (unless you use a program to set the 4th partition as primary and active).
To access the 4th partition for storage, you can try to connect the Nook by USB cable to your computer and enable USB storage mode. That should connect you to the 4th partition and your internal mmc storage partition too.
If not, download and use the following app:

The app is a little deceiving, you have to scroll in the app to see the "Confirm" button when you are mounting, and unmounting.
Thank you!!! I'm going to try that tomorrow.
If you still have stock on eMMC, boot with the card out, then insert it before the stock OS fully loads (like on "n" or "Nook Color" splash screens). The NC will mount the boot partition as storage; there should be an SD-icon notification in the lower left, and if you tap it, it should say "SD card inserted." You can then connect via USB, and hopefully your card and PC will kiss and make up.
ETA: I've had no luck inserting the card after the OS is fully loaded--it just reads "SD safe to remove."
That worked!!! Thank you very much!!!
1. I was checking files on my 8GB card in file exproler
2. I removed my 8GB card
3. Install of HSPL 3.03
4. Formatting new 2GB card with FAT32, copying radio rom on it, shutdown and pressing power+volume_down...
5. Boot loader or how its called came up but flashing did not begin...I'm guessing because of filename...
6. I've turned the device on and flashed the rom using USB with CustomRRU.exe
7. After that I flashed with energy rom, USB with CustomRRU.exe
8. Everything was fiine with flashing...going trough settings...
9. I inserted my 8GB card back but file exproler or any other application can't see it.
If I connect the device without card I get 2 options:
- ActiveSync
- Modem
If I connect it with card I get all 3 options
- ActiceSync
- Modem
- Disk Drive
So...the device obviously knows that the card is inserted but it can't access it...
I don't know if the problem is hardware or software...
put it into a card reader then use Easeus free edition to remove the partitions and reformat the card as primary fat 32 job done
I have fixed the problem...
I tried another microsd and it worked...then I tried my microsd again and somehow it worked too...miracle I guess...I tried taking out and putting it back before...reseting the device...but now it suddenly works...
I was just going to try you formatting advice but I decided to try another microsd before...thanks anyway
That's got something to do with data stored on SD by the old OS.
If you change OS you should format your SD with a card reader or at least you should delete Applicaton Data and Program Files folders on SD.
As of now I've got CM7 latest nightly installed on my eMMC which works fine.
However I have a certain interest in installing Nookbuntu on my SD Card.
My first question at hand is... if I've got a bootable SD-Card in my Nook, can I still boot into the eMMC installed system without removing the SD-Card?
Maybe via a certain button combination on boot?
I'm asking this because my Nook is in a leather case and it would be troublesome to remove it every time to boot into Android, then put the SD Card back in and stick it back into it's case.
My second question is about the USB Mounting via Android, from what I know a bootable SD-Card for Nook consists of several partitions...
Do all partitions get mounted into Android when I boot it with a Nookbuntu SD Card inside? Which partition will get mounted to /mnt/sdcard?
And what happens if I USB-Mount it via USB Cable to my PC as Mass Storage?
I only have one (rather big) 32GB MicroSD Card, and would like to limit myself to just this card to operate both Ubuntu and Android...
So I prefer asking in advance before doing something I will regret.
Hello
I bought Samsung Galaxy Y a year ago.I got installed 16GB memorycard and I rooted it.
Recently I have partitioned it into #1GB EXT2 RAM and rest of memory into FAT32, henceforth i didn't connect my storage through the cable but it is able to charge through my PC.I tried it in both Linux and Windows platforms but problem remained same.
Can u please suggest the solution to me?
Try
have you tried card reader?
Can your phone read the sd card?
If so go into cwm and you can repartition your sd card (all data on sd card will be lost)
if after that your pc can't read sd card but your phone can it's the cable
of course I'm assuming when you plug in the cable you are getting the notification in the statusbar bar on phone that usb is connected and you open the statusbar click the notification then depending on rom either press on the android image or button to connect storage
