Classic Charging nook on USB question

mnfe · 12-28-2010, 04:47 PM

I have my nook hooked up to a USB port, initially to transfer files. I'm done with that and now want to use it while it is still hooked up and charging. It says to unmount or eject the nook and, if you have one, the SD card. I have done that, the nook no longer shows up on my computer. But the nook itself is still showing up in USB Drive mode. What else do I need to do here?

(This is a classic nook running 1.5, not rooted.)

Thanks!

How did you eject it? On Windows, you should right-click on the drive letter and select "eject". Don't do a simple "safely remove hardware". The "eject" tells NOOK that it's being disconnected, then tells Windows to disconnect it. The "safely remove hardware" just tells Windows to disconnect the NOOK without letting it know it's being disconnected.

Windows assumes that when you select "safely remove hardware", you're actually going to remove the hardware by unplugging it.

Hm, that might be it. I've ejected it through Calibre and I've done the safely remove hardware, I'll try actually ejecting it from My Computer next time. Thanks!
