It may not be the slot its possibly the type of CF card. Amigas are sensitive to the type used. I recommend SanDisk cf.

@aaachipset

Is a CF or SD card? SD card have a little "switch" to protect/unproted the card.

This cards ares like another HDD or floppy, can you see the NDOS icon?

The PrepCard program does not work with CF cards, it can only handle SRAM cards.

To prepare a CF card for the PCMCIA slot, just format it as FAT16 or FAT32 on a PC. Normally new CF cards are already formatted like that.

On the Amiga, if CF0 is installed along with compactflash.device and FAT95, no further preparation is needed.
