I AM HAVING TOSHIBA SATELLITE L45 S7423 LAPTOP WITH VISTA
From my experience with Vista, it's no wonder you want XP back.
One thing about Vista, it uses a different way of setting up the drive. Most easy way to format what you have, first check what brand it is. Go to the maker website and they always have a dos version of the formatting tool to format the drive. You will need a windows based PC to burn to a CD. Once that's done. pop the CD intothe DVD/CD drive and restart the PC. Most likely the makers left the boot order as follows Floppy,CD/DVD then Hard Drive. Most do not.
There's a F10-F11-F12 or so key to press to enter boot menu.
Whe you find and hit the keys for it, select the CD/DVD drive to boot off of it. It will run off the CD/DVD image and then let you format the drive to what you will put on it, Like XP

Help
What the error is teller you is that it's not seeing any cable like from a network for example being plug in.
One thing you should have done is check to see if your hard drive is spinning. No spinning, No windows.
Those errors you see is because under the bios, in the boot priority order, the floppy and the hard drive are not responding. Also, if you OK in taking apart your laptop, just check the connectors from the hard drive to the mainboard. Make sure they are push in all the way in. No pins are damage or bent. Those can cause the hard drive not to be detected by the bios.
Let me know

Router?
You need to be in a location near a wireless router.
If you go to say Starbucks they would have their own wireless router. Some places like this will put a password on the wireless network. You may have to ask them for the password. Although, most of the time it is open access.

You just buy a laptop with built wireless card or built in WIFI capability since you will buy a wireless router, that built in modem that you are saying is a modem use for dial up and you do not need that because I believe you have a broadband connection like cable or DSL internet...

Netgear vs. Linskys
Stay with Netgear then if that is the case. The overall stability will give you value for your money as well as giving you the same features.

Routers
There are a lot of different ways you can go. you can get a wwireless router, or you can get a wired router and a seperate wireless gaetway device and cable it to the router. That would enable you to put it someplace centrally located. you could also get a wireless capable router AND a wireless acces point and combine them to double your coverage area.
I all depends upon what you need it to do and what is more important to you.

Ethernet LAN
That is a network card that has the abililty to automatically adjust it's speed between the old standard of 10MBps network systems all they way to the current 1000MBps, (1Gigabit LAN) network speed. And RJ45 is just a typ of connector that all network cabling uses. It's kind of a double-wide version of a phone plug.

I.LINK
Ilink is Sony specific brand of IEEE 1394 connector technology. You will find it in just about everything, from new Dells to gateway etc. What happens with this kind of thing is licensing contracts were signed and commitments made long ago, and sometimes those contracts require that those types of input be made available in exchange for a lower licensing price, so you could see them for years to come, even if all firewaire devices cease to exist, simply because the company has decided the legal hassle of removing them exposes them to too much of a lawsuit danger, so they spend the extra 10 cents per PC to keep it there.

Laptop
It's the Sony version of firewire. (a type of connection similar to USB, but designed differently) Most computers come with some kind of firewire hookup, but ever since USB2 came out, it's mostly there for backwards compatibility just in case you have a firewire gadget of some kind. There isn't a whole lot of hardware out there that uses it anymore. It came out about the same time as USB1 and was a lot faster, but far more expensive than USB2, so it's kind of pointless.

Modem vs. Router
Oh I thought you wanted a wireless anywhere modem.
Ok
A Modem is what you need to get the internet from your internet provider. A router splits that connection from the modem so that more than 1 computer can get on.
What you need to do is get a wireless router such as the Linksys WRT54G then connect it to the modem so that it will broadcast wireless to your laptop.

Wireless Router
Yes you can, you just have to connect to the network wherever you are and provide the password for that location if it has security.

It would be better with Netgear as the setup is easier but I go with Linksys because of the price.

Modems
Those are PC cards that you plug into the side of the computer much like a wireless adapter but with that device you can get internet wherever your provider has a signal. If im not mistaked it rides on their cellphone backbone network.
