OK, I got my N800 booting OS2008 from either flash or a 1GB SD card. Now, this may be a stupid question, but how do I now install OS2007 without overwriting everything I just did? I would prefer OS2007 on the flash and OS2008 on the card.

I have some trouble getting my internal card being accessible in windows...
Yes, every time I'm trying to connect, it just tells me "Unable to connect via USB. memory card in use: Internal memory card..."

I believe you can just flash the OS without losing anything that isn't in the flash memory. That is, you will still have your card with OS2008 and a (damn small, if the the whole card is 1GB) partition for data on the card. I think you'll still have the boot manager installed; if not, at most you should have to do just steps 4, 5, 6, and 8 (which isn't that bad).
But I think you won't even have to do that. Report back and let us know!

I thought I would lose the dual-boot capability if I re-flashed. I was correct. Re-doing the steps you suggested put the dual-boot back.
Now I can play with OS2008 a bit more. I had installed it before (overwriting OS2007) but quickly reverted to OS2007 because of that damned doubling of characters. I can't believe that anyone can use OS2008 with that problem. At least with dual-boot, I can experiment.

My guess is that you have this result when booting from your MMC. Try booting from the flash OS. (Hold down the menu key within moments of pressing the Power button to get your boot menu.)
