Your laptop probably died while you were on the internet, that's why the nic
card stopped working. You should never pull that out while the computer is
on.
Go into the bios and see if it still autodetects the harddrive. If so, boot
your XP CD and see if you can do a repair install. If not, repartition and
reformat the drive and reinstall eveything.. If bios don't see the drive,
and you can't boot a cd you have a new door stop.
 
i dont know if i wasn't clear and if i wasn't then its my fault. but my
coputer doesn't work. when i turn it on the onoly thing that starts up is
the fan NOTHING else starts up it does boot up the fan is the only part that
comes on.

Try leaving the battery out of it and try turning it on with just the AC
adapter. If that don't work your processor is probably cooked.
