Correct. Did it and when I click on the auto-nooter file I get a pop-up from WinImage asking which partition I want to use. Having never done anything like that before, I haven't a clue. So, it looks like I'm going to have to thoroughly read the WinImage instructions to understand how the program works before I proceed any further; which won't happen the holidays are over.

I appreciate the help you've given.

Maybe this will help:

Start WinImage, and under [Disk], select [Restore Virtual Hard Disk Image on physical drive...]. That should open a window showing your available drives. Mine are listed as Disk 3 0kb - Generic USB SD Reader 1.00, Disk 4 0kb - Generic USB CF Reader 1.01, Disk 5 0kb - Generic USB SM Reader 1.02, and Disk 6 0kb - Generic USB MS Reader 1.03.

Assuming you have your formatted MicroSD card (and its adapter) inserted in the SD slot of your card reader, ONLY the occupied slot will show anything other than 0kb. Click on that one, then click on [OK].

That opens a window where you will select the image file that you wish to restore. (Be sure to select [All files] from the dropdown box at the bottom of that window.)

Thanks anyway, but my window shows no drives.

Strange. You are running as Admin? What kind of SD reader are you using, and how is it attached to the computer? And, I guess just to be sure, what OS?

Yes
Using SanDisk mSD card inside SanDisk adapter
Using built-in card reader in my PC
Win 7

I've formated the card several times. I'll get a different card later on and try that one.

Quote:

2 Windows: Unzip and use WinImage to "Restore Virtual Hard Disk Image" to your SDcard.
3 Unplug your NOOKcolor from computer. (If Plugged in.)

I must say, there are several steps involved in the jump from 2 to 3 that are NOT self-evident to me. For example, how am I supposed to know to use "run as administrator"?

Anyway, thanks for the help. I appreciate it. I think at this point I'll take a few days and learn how to use WinImage, since these instructions say nothing about it.

Is there any way to get this new keyboard to make some noise when you hit a key? Maybe it will get old over time, but I kind of miss that part of the original keyboard.

Funny you mention that Krypto, I said the same thing the first time I used it. Maybe the fact that when you hit a key it pops out at you makes up for it.

How does the Gingerbread keyboard differ from the Droid X one?

It's edible

SCION · 12-25-2010, 12:40 PM

You are so silly! I like it.

gtriever · 12-25-2010, 01:13 PM

The claim about the GB is " It has more accurate targeting, better auto-correct, and typing numbers and symbols is much quicker than on the stock Android keyboard."

Since I haven't tried it yet, I don't know...

You should try it. I hear it's quite tasty.

I installed it a while back and I love it compared to any of the others. It allows you to tap and hold the top row to type numbers without alting, and in apps that use the full text entry keyboard provides a much nicer autocorrect/suggestion bar. It also has a button to change settings and change input method (to the left of the comma). Screenshots:

Thanks for sharing. I'll definitely give it a go.
