Rooting without SD Reader on Computer?

I just got my NC for my birthday the other day, and I'd love to root it....but my laptop does not have an SD card slot.  Since connecting the Nook Color to my laptop turns it into a "G" drive, and the micro SD card inside it to an "H" drive, couldn't I just write the bootable image that way, with the card in the NC?  If not, how CAN I root this thing?

You can not use the nook color to create the sd card. You will need to get a usb sd card reader for the computer or I heard that rooted sd cards are sold on ebay and some people have gone that route.

Got a couple/few hours? Type rooting in the search bar and dig in.  :smileyvery-happy:
