Help getting Honeycomb set up

I need help. I have an sd card that I succesfully set up with CM7. During that process, I downloaded a couple of zip files to the card (after I had burned the image and modified the partitions to take advantage of the card's full size) that gave me google apps and the android market. Everything works great.

Now I'm trying my hand at a 2nd card setting up Honeycomb. I've sucessfully gotten Deeper Blue's Preview v04 runing. The problem has been getting Market set up. I've followed the directions exactly, and my problem is this: When I connect the Nook to the computer, the PC recognizes two drives, but when you click them, the message says to insert a disk into the drive. So I can't push the google apps or market to the nook. Any ideas as to a different way to skin this cat? Better yet, is there a version of Honeycomb that can be set up like the CM7, that is where the market & google apps can be put on the card (via a card reader) and self extract upon bootup? I'm new here so please forgive me if this has already been addressed elsewhere - I couldn't find it.

Thanks!!

Honeycomb will not work now nor will it ever work on any tablet that did not come with it. Be happy with CM7 until the developers can come out with a version of ICS for us.
 
There is a sticky thread on how to do this and if I recall correctly it points to a thread on another forum specifically for getting the mrket and a couple other things loaded. Essentially you have to download the developer system and side load them. It also requires some kind of partitioner.
Honestly its not worth the trouble as the previous poster alluded to. It is extremely sluggish and other than a few tablet only apps that are not particularly earth shattering returns little if any benefit.
If you are like me and just gotta try it anyway, go through the thread on the subject. Believe me I wanted it to work. But the lack of open source means its not optimized for the nook. Thus it doesn't perform well.
