I'm looking for a bootable sdcard that can run ClockWorkMod Recovery to backup my Nook tablet stock rom. I'd rather use a stable allready created rom rather than make from scratch. My Nook tablet is model BNTV400. I also plan on using a Sandisk 64Gig class 10 sd card. I'm already using a Sandisk 64Gig class 10 and have had zero issues with it.
I've created bootable Sd cards before when I first ran triple boot Sd card Cyanogenmod running on my Nook Color years ago.
After I can backup my current stock to the sd card I plan in doing a factory reset on the stock and backing that up also.
After that my first key goal will be to create a triple boot sd card much as I did for the Nook Color. Or if at all possiable a sd card bootable cm 10.1 Version 4.22 to test fully before in installing to the emmc.
The basic steps I remember. 1 Download a generic boot image and burn it to the sd card. Download a cyanogenmod image and burn it. Resize the fat 32 partition using a Windows app. Put the sd card in the Nook, turn it on and then immediately hold down the Nook button until the menu appears. Go thru the steps to do a backup to the sd card. Finally choose reboot and injoy.
Any steps I've missed or put down incorrectly?

Hi,
I accidentally wrote the SDCard CM7 installer image file (version 1.3) for Nook on a 512M microSd card using WinImage. It only shows about 200M under windows now. How can I restore the microSD card back to the original size using Windows?
Thanks
Anyone knows the answer?
Reformatting SD card under Windows
The HPUSBFW.exe format utility will reformat your SD card to its original size. I found the utility via Google.
I am running into the same issue while trying to create a bootable CM7 card for my Nook Color. If I use WinImage (Restore virtual drive image) or Win32DiskImager to write the generic SD card image to my SD card, the resulting size is a bit less than 130MB. I can copy the CM7 and Google Apps ZIP files to the card with little space left over. My NC will boot from the card and attempt to install CM7 and the Google apps, but installation will eventually fail because no space is left on the device. Subsequently my NC will no longer boot from the SD card and boots into the Nook Reader instead.
If I use WinImage and manually choose the SD card image and destination drive, I can write the image to the SD card without changing the partition size. However, my NC cannot boot from the resulting image.
I'm at a loss.
SD CARD
Thank You, I was able to recover my SD Card.
Hi there everyone, I just picked up my Transformer today, and while Im not new to the whole flashing business (done it lots on my Galaxy S) I cant seem to get this working on the tablet. Ive managed to get it rooted and CWM loaded, but every time I try to flash a zip from my sd card its lot letting me mount the sd card.
Was hoping someone would be able to help me out
CWM only read files from the Removable micro sd card and not internal sd card.
Also the removable micro sd need to be in a fat32 format

Are certain microSD cards not compatible? I've currently got one in FAT32 format and it cannot read that either.
Some people have reported problems with using a MicroSD when formatted as Fat32 through windows. Try using an SD card formatting tool. Apparently when formatting an SD Card through windows it doesn't format it correctly.
Also some people say they had to try a few card before one could be read.
I bought a 32 GB microSD card from Trascendent. When I install apps that are supposed to be installed on the external SD card it does not do that. It goes to the internal SD card. When I sync it with my PC it shows both devices. I browse and all teh stuff is in the internal SD card. The external SD card is completely empty except for a folder that reads LostDir. How can I get the external SD working?
you have to root your phone and make a partition for the apps
I rooted the phone already using razorclaw
I can not partition it us using rom manager because it tells me I need clockworkmod recovery installed. I can't flash clockworkmod because when I tried to go into recovery boot by pressing power volume down and then volume up, the android icon ends upbwith a warning sign in his belly and it stops there. Thanks for your help
I followed the great directions here for my phone and got it successfully rooted on 4.3 with the locked bootloader. I then installed Safestrap 3.71 and it installed without error. I created a recovery for my Stock ROM and I now see it located at /extSDCard/TWRP/BACKUPS. I also just realized (duh) that I really need a larger SD card if I'm going to be able to work with more then one Virtual Slot. Before I go further and create Virtual ROM partition slots, I'd like to put a larger SD card in my phone. I've completely backed up my current SD card to PC, so My question is:
Can I install a larger SD Card without boot problems from my initial Safestrap install, provided I restore the TWRP sub-directory in the root of the new SD Card?
