Reading the thread where you got the rom from could have answered your question.

Ummm flash back to stock rom 6.5 and then flash Android - unless wm7 is stuck once installed...

Thanks for the reply.
Can I just boot into MAGDLR and then USB flash NAND build as per normal? Do I need to do anything special with the memory card (i know windows phone 7 does weird stuff to it and dont want to nuke it...)
Cheers
I think you have to reformat your SD card, as WP7 makes your SD unusable untill you have formated it

Ok cheers
How do I do thins? When I connect the windows 7 hd2 to the pc it doesn't see the memory card.
When i flash to android, will i then be able to see the memory card and reformat as normal?
Also as above, am I ok to just reflash via MAGLDR straight from windows 7 to Android NAND? Or do I need to flash back to stock wm6.5 and then reflash to Android NAND?

Put sd card into card reader on pc and format it there. You can use Panasonic SD Formatter (search xda for it)
You should be fine to flash to Android from WP7, I did this but to be safe I also ran a Task29 first.

Either that or put it in an SD card extender and put that inside a digital camera. Then do a "low level format". That would do it.
hmm whats a task29?
Im begining to think it may be easier to flash back to wm6.5 then flash to NAND Android
Task29 formats the NAND area where the roms are flashed to, so you start with a clean base. You can use this tool the do it and it is so simple (much easier than flashing to a stock rom again and then hspl and radio etc etc IMHO). Just be aware that as Task29 formats the rom when the phone reboots there is no rom to boot into, but just boot into bootloader and then flash magldr and then your Android rom.
Either way though you will still need to reformat the sd card after running WP7.
OK
So I flashed a NAND Android ROM, all went well and boots fine. The computer can now see the 16gb memory card in the HD2 but says its only 200mb (I think windows 7 must have used the rest)
When I format it in Windows (whilst its still in the phone - i dont have a card reader), it doesnt free anymore space than the 200mb.
Any thoughts how i can get the remained 15gb back?

You can format it using a digital camera if you have one that takes sd cards (put the micro sd into the sd card adaptor). If you don't have one then you will need to get yourself a card reader in order to format the card.
Or you could use a partitioning program, delete the 15gb unknown partition and then create a fat32 partition.

Flash Android WITHOUT SD card?

Is there any way or any android roms that can be flashed WITHOUT the use of an SD card?
My SD card is currently unrecognized on my windows 7, CWM and WM6.5 after unsuccessful attempts at installing the latest WP7 Mango (I also tried unlocking my SD card, but it failed to detect card). By unrecognized I mean that the system CAN'T SEE IT AT ALL, like there is NO SD CARD INSERTED.
I heard that android 'could' recognize cards that are otherwise unrecognizable and be able to fix it. It's my last and only hope left to save my SD card.
Only some devices can unlock the sd cards..
See the win7 section of hd2

Hrm.. I don't think my SD is locked though, if it was then XBmod's unlocker would've worked and unlocked it. It's just that my SD card isn't detected at all...
Oh okay use a SD Card reader and format it with "sd formatter"
I had the same problem with my SD card, turned theres a difference between micro SD and micro SDHC, well mine and many other older card readers do not recognize this SDHC type at all.
good luck
I got a adapter for that when I bought my micro sdhc card.
Maybe you get one

i did to, but apparently my (built-in) card reader was too old, it wasnt the shape or adapter or anything, it just wouldnt recognize it - but at least it taught me a lesson, always nand backup and careful with the wipes

Windows Phone 7 formatted the SD cart as FAT16, MAGLDR can't read this format.
You can reformated with a SD card reader and a any partion manager program, format as FAT32 and MAGDLR will work.

If they used the XBmod-Yuki 7720 ready ROM rather than HD2Owner's V1.20 WP7 Build 7720 [test ver. 1] their SD cards were formatted with Microsoft's WP7 proprietary SD format. This explains why their SD card readers could not recognize their cards. This by now is a well known issue, and therefore the search link I gave above may be quite useful.
I Had Same issue. just solved it now, i had to re-flash with the old rom with memory card inserted, installed DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab which unlockes your SD card again, unlocked my memory card, then switch off, put into USB flasher mode and reflash with 7720 image and now unlocked SD card, detects ok again now all working
got both my SD cards working now with 7720, had to update phone to 7392 first with one card before i could unlock it. the previous rom drivers were no good with some cards.
Couldnt use or detect the card with any partitioning or Formatting software until i unlocked it in Windows phone 7 with DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab
hope this helps some others?

[Q] After installing WP7 Rom - My SD is dead (both phone and PC)

Good day
i had working Dual boot OS with WP7 and android for the last 2 weeks on my HTC HD2 with 32Gb SanDisk MicroSD.
yesterday i wanted to make a new installation with other versions on the OS. So...
i formatted the SD card to New FAT32 and the PC recognize it well.
I went to install WP7 from there :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236027
and after the installation the phone reboot and i did again hard reset for it to build up the partitions on the SD.
after the second boot the phone got stuck and i had to take the battery out in i wanted to start all over from the beginning.
when i went to format the SD again my Windows didn't find it nothing i did.
i i used all the partition application i know but nothing - no SD or dead sd.
i also installed Gparted and boot from the live cd but still no SD.
i installed original WM 6.5 - buy fuss what - still no SD installed.
i don't know what to do??????
i installed also android on hand and tried to format from the android but still - no SD installed.
is there some magic i can do?
or my SD is dead?
i hope i can fix it......
thanks
your SD card is locked.... BTTF lock card and that card not readable.... you must unlock card first... send unlock cab file to phone and after that you can format card (or use old Nokia phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242071)
if you want dual boot without worry about locking card, try use Pdaimatejam Rom or DFT UltraFruit
also you have video how to dual boot android and WP7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356833
Hi

hope this help
Thanks
