trouble os install no cd rom no floppy


I have a rather unusual problem which I have seen other posts on part of the problem but I have a bit more of an issue. The lap top in question the dvd drive is not working it has no floppy drive and it started running very slow. So in my wisdom i looked on the internet and seen that i could reinstall xp on the hard drive from a home pc. So i formated the hard drive from the lap top useing the home pc. then put lap top h,drive as master on pc put DOS 7.10 in the drive and booted up pc installed DOS on h,drive. then put file 1386 onto h,drive put it back in to the lap top power up and nothink . I can't get to a DOS prompt. the lap top is a toshiba. help help help i have spent 4 day's an night's on this laptop i can't see were i an going wrong i am very close to putting it in the bin
