My GP claims my SMC is empty, and my card reader claims it's not formatted. When I try to connect my GP to my PC, I get error messages. When I try to start up my computer with the SMC in the card reader, It gets stuck on the Windows XP logo.

Dead SMC?
 
Have you tried reformatting it? sounds like the filesystem has become corrupt. You can reformat it using the gpmanager app or mkdosfs.exe ( search here for it ) in XP.
 
I had a similar problem perhaps this also works for you. I started the GP with a workign SMC, connected through the GP Manager, selected format SMC en before it started I quickly changed the SMC while the GP was on, after this it formated the card without any problems.
