Finally figured it out!

I finally got in to Android! Here was my problem. I was using a 32 gb microSD card. There was no unallocated space at the beginning of the card. I didn't know this was a problem. I couldn't boot with that card. I had another card, an 8 gig one. I tried that one. Oddly enough, when the image was copied over, there was about 27 megs of unallocated space at the beginning. When I put in the card and turned on my Aura HD (simply pressing the light button and then the start slider briefly) it went right in to Android. So, anyone who is having problems booting, it may not be your button technique. Check for at least 25 mb of unallocated space at the beginning of the card. This might be good to add to the OP.

Great work, Angor! And many thanks to Embryo and others on this thread!

Edit: I neglected to say why that problem arose. When I used MiniTool to work with the partitions, I used the move/resize tool to expand the main partition. I didn't realize that this tool expands the partition in both directions if there is unallocated space on both sides! Using the Expand Partition tool only increases the size of the partition in the direction you are actually dragging it!
