Sufue why not just format your card and try it again.
Make sure the image on your card is this one
generic-sdcard-v1.2.img from
here
I prefer to write my image with win32diskimager
After it is done remove put in your computer and place the latest encore 7.1 stable zip on the card along with Gapps that goes with it then put the card in and boot let it do its work and after the screen goes black, takes a while to process all the files, press and hold the power button until it starts up. You need to get wifi going before doing your google gapps setup.
p.s. I have had no problems placing the ROM and Gapps on at the same time and it saves a step.
An important thing is when it works make an image of that card and save it so in future if you want to update the ROM to another stable or nightly you simply put the new zip on the card in the boot partition and (after making another image for all your files to be saved) and reboot in recovery mode.
