Yes, the CF card must be inserted into the CF adapter before you power on the sampler or else you'll get the "floppy drive not installed" messsage.

You'll also get that message if the CF card you are trying to use is not compatible with the CF adapter. Finding a compatible card can be tricky sometimes, so it is best to talk to the vendor of the CF adapter before you buy it and make sure they can recommend some proven compatible CF card brands.
