Question re: Bootable CM7 card - can I drag a data file onto Micro-SD card?

[nook-color]

I got a NC up and running CM7 of Micro SD card - followed the directions on the Mega thread to get er done.

Everything's worked great so far - using Amazon app store. But I wanted to try out a pdf reader - and my PC won't recognize my device via USB cable. So I pulled out formatted card - and saw it was mostly empty - so I dragged and dropped a .pdf document onto the MicroSD via card reader.

Logged onto my NC to grab a pdf reader to see if the file transferred - and now my Amazon App store says there are no apps compatible with my device. Everything I have on there - works fine - I just can't add any new Apps via Amazon. Is that because I clicked and dragged. I even deleted .pdf file and Amazon app store still isn't working. Perhaps Amazon is just having a technical glitch - I can always double check tomorrow a.m.

I can always start over - as I'm a greenhorn - but figured I'd try and learn something in the process...

* So - did I do a ( no-no ) with my drag and drop data file onto uSD card.

* What's the best way to transfer files from PC to NC device. I'm thinking of trying bluetooth next - if that's a good route - or is there a better way to do it < as I'd have to get a BT dongle to test out that >

If you followed verygreen's SD card install of CM7, you should be able to simply plug the NC into your computer via the stock USB cable. For me when I did this last night I saw two removable drive devices show up on the computer immediately.

Once connected, open your notification bar and say yes to enable USB mode. After you've done this, give it a minute and the removable drives on the computer should refresh and have actual names like MyNookColor and CM7 SDCard. Try opening them up.

I used the CM7 SDCard drive and went into the downloads folder and created subdirectories for music, videos, etc. You should now be able to drag n drop PDFs from the computer to the drive. When you're all done, very important... Right-click on both devices and eject the drive. After you've ejected, do safely remove, but do NOT disconnect the cable yet. After Windows says it's safe, I went back to the NC and turned off USB mode, THEN I disconnected the cable.

That worked for me last night, I hope it works for you.
Good luck!
