I am using an SD Card and in Device Manager it has a yellow exclamation mark (!) next to it. For this reason I am unable to access it. All drivers are installed and connected properly.

I am running Windows XP Professional SP2.

Here's the problem: When I turn my laptop on, the HP invent start up screen comes up. On the bottom of the screen it says to press ESC to change boot order and press F2 to enter setup, F12 to boot from LAN. It won't go past this screen. When I push ESC, F2, or F12 it does nothing... It stays on the start up screen. I've asked a friend or two and they think that the hard drive may be fried. What do you think?

I'll be doing random thing on my laptop without it even being unplugged and it will just turn off. Any idea what's causing this? It's really annoying and happens a lot when I'm importing CDs to iTunes. Could it be caused by low disk space because I have very little disk space messages pop up a lot.

My windows 2000 is very poor on my IBM Thinkpad T20, and it keeps crashing. would i be able to install XP on the laptop, and would it work? Would this slow down my internet speed through wireless?
Thank you.
