Help How do I reset to factory with bootable sd card

[andonakis]

So I have the nook color and purchased a bootable micro sd card to use it as a full android tablet. My question is how do I do a factory reset with out erasing the sd card i bought. I'm planing on selling my nook along with the sd card I bought so the other person can use it as a tablet, just dont want all my stuff on it. Thanks.

Why don't you factory reset from within Android? (Settings... privacy or backup & reset)

Ok I know how to do that. But will that erase my sd card that makes it possible to use my nook as a full tablet? Plus will it make my regular nook go back to factory?
If I do it that way will I still be able to boot up from sd card and use it as a full tablet? In other words after doing it within android can I just sell it when I can? Thanks.

You should be able to factory reset with B&N and with Android. (B&N may call it something different.) If you format your sdcard from Android, it should wipe the sdcard partition (not the whole card) as well.

The only way I can think of that will screw it up would be to take the card out and format it from Windows. It would no longer boot then.

A factory reset just formats the data partition, which stores your apps and settings.

Bear in mind I'm an Android guy, not a B&N reader-type. I haven't spent more than a couple minutes with the B&N rom.
