Color new sd card - copy data over? (cm7)

thaKing · 12-06-2011, 11:03 PM

Running cm7 on the nook color. Original setup for cm7 and for current storage, I used a 2GB card. I now have an 8GB card I'd like to use. What's the best way to copy data from the 2GB card to the 8GB card to use in the NC running cm7?

Maybe I wasn't all that clear. I installed CM7 on the NC (not running it from the SD card). The card I used to do this, and the card that I now use as storage in the NC, is a 2GB card. I recently purchased an 8GB card that I'd like to use as storage instead of the 2GB card.

Is there anything special I need to do before I swap out the cards - like format the 8GB card? I've loaded the 2GB in my card reader and copied over the files to my PC. Do I put the 8GB in my PC, format, and then copy the files from PC to the 8GB card?

That will work if the card is just for data storage and not for the CM7 system.

Yep, that's all it is. Actually tried it last night. Ran into another issue - older card reader, doesn't recognize SDHC. Doh! Guess I'm getting a new reader.
