Network Hardware Problem

[Throwback24]

I was having some Hard Drive problems and decided to wipe my disk drive clean with Darik's Boot and Nuke utility. I proceeded to install a fresh copy of Windows XP and oddly enough everything works except for my internet. I went to my device manager and noticed there are no Network Adapters.

As this is an old laptop, IBM Thinkpad A31, I no longer have the CD's that came with the laptop when I bought it.

It looks like this page has all your drivers

After downloading the drivers (no success) I just encountered another problem. At boot up it says, "Error loading Operating system." I've tried booting from multiple CD's but it won't let me.

Ah man

Boot problems AND Hard Drive problems? Sounds like a knackered Hard Drive. If you get the chance run check disk and do a full scan for errors.
