Dual boot without SC card?

---

I recently updated my Nook with dual boot from the SD card but I find that it locks up a lot and it very slow. I figure it is probably the brand of SD card I am using but now I am wondering if I really want the original Nook software in it at all. Is it possible to dual boot without using a SD with two exact CM7 Roms, one with all my info and one with my wifes?

Yes, it's possible, but I don't recommend it. There are old threads that will tell you how to do it. I recommend against because to implement you must repartition emmc and that is risky. And you will have problems in the future if you want to update the ROM on the second system.

I recommend putting one system on emmc and another on a quality SD using the verygreen system. That's what I run and it works great.

OK thanks for the info. For now I have CM7 on the Nook and it runs 100 times better than when I had it on the SD card.

With a good SD card it should run just as well as it does on internal. San Disk class 4 tend to work the best as bootable SD cards.

I tried to post a link to the card that I want to buy but I dont have enough posts

Just get a San Disk and that will take care of any potential card issues. This is the best possible way to avoid any potential issues with running a bootable SD
