OK so I decided to dual boot my nook color before fully rooting it because I wanted to see if I liked it or not. Well I followed the instructions from this youtube video and everything went well. When I installed the sd card into the nook the part where the linux penguin shows up and writes the code went fine, then the nook shut down and I restarted it. According to the video it should take 5 - 10 minutes to start up on Android. Well that doesn't happen. After I restarted it is basically stuck on

"Press any key within 1 seconds(s) for the boot menu....

Booting please wait..."

I thought it might take a little longer, so I left the nook on my desk, went to Home Depot, came back and it still was stuck on that same phrase. I tried it again just now, and it's still stuck on the same thing.

Does anyone have any ideas why it wont boot to CM7/Android? Could it be the SD card? I have a Sandisk 8gb class 2 micro sd card.

Thanks for the help.
