HELP! My R4 won't even show the startup menu!

i just got my R4 in the mail and i followed the instructions..1. first, i downloaded the game kernel 1.18 and put all the files and folders in the sd card.2. next, i put some roms (.nds) in the sd card.3. i put the R4 into my DS, turned it on and the menu didn't pop up..it just had the "touch screen to continue" screen. in the next screen, it said i didn't have a card in the slot.WHAT do i do??

Do what I said in the other topic instead.
