To start with, you need to format the CF card, use
call"fdisk"
Then you need to copy Nextor files to the card.

You can use your MSX formatted card in a PC to copy files, I would suggest using Sofarun.
The disk images would need to be converted to .ROM files as far as I remember, however, if you boot up with no CF card installed, you should get the basic C2 screen, with the simple Basic+IDE+FMPAC+SCC startup option.

Did you buy your card new?

ok...then it only works with ROM? That is fine with me. I will do that.

I will use call fdisk and format the sucker and parition it..then transfer certain ROM games in there. Hopefully it will work. If I partition it and format it, will I be greeted with the famous carnivore 2 menu screen?

I enter right into basic. I have the CF format it and partitioned as 16 MB from inside MSX itself and not even Windows
I toke the CF and extracted sofarun into the CF, then put it back into carnivore 2. As soon as I restart the MSX it finds the hard drive but goes right into BASIC and refuses to run SofaRUN.
