Default Laptop won't boot

I have two systems. A desktop running XP and a laptop
running 98SE. I am running a peer to peer network. I
shared the printer thats connected to the XP box added the
printer to the laptop, loaded drivers from CD. The next
day my desktop won't start, I ran diagnostics from Western
Digital and it tells me my drive is gone. The laptop
freezes while launching, no error messages. I can go to
Safe Mode. Please help me to get the laptop to boot up.
