Windows only shows 117 mb for the card; I assume it's b/c it can't read all the partitions? or have I now formatted it to be that tiny, and how do I fix it?

Nook will still boot into stock but with sd card in, doesn't even power up. thanks.
Somewhere in my process you should've installed MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition. Put your SD card in your computer and open the program. You should be able to see all the partitions on your SD cards (although you can only do things mostly with the first partition). My first partition, called "BOOT" is the same size as yours.

I had the problem with the Nook not booting from the SD card. It was because the BOOT partition was not set as "active". You can check this in MiniTool P.W. The bottom half of the screen shows your drives. Look at the one that is your SD card (of course) and it should have four partitions on it. The first one labeled "boot" should be FAT32 and should say "Active". Like in my picture. The self-formatter script should really have set all this up. It's possible your SD card could be corrupt.
