WinImage is a standalone program, and one of the few that will burn and rip images on SD. You could use it to back up a bootable card, but what jhempel was describing was downloading an image of a ClockworkMod card, burning that image to a SD, copying a generic stock firmware .zip to the card, booting to the card and using CWM to install the .zip, restoring his NC to stock.

What I linked her was a less wall-o-text version of the OP of that thread, with a link to the original.
So are you running 176 on an SD card. Are you satisfied with it running on an SD card. I'm tempted to try this myself if I get the Nook Color. Your instructions make it seem easy. If I do, I'll probably have lots more questions for you.

I take it if you have trouble with one build (say 177) you could just reload an earlier build and use that.

Also, I've read that you should use a SanDisk Class 4. How can you tell the Class of the card. I have an old 2GB card but can't see any class notation on it.

Before I would start anything, I would want to back up the Nook Color itself. Would I use WinImage for that or can I use another backup program, such as Acronis True Image.

Thanks for your help.
