Reformat Windows XP - USB, ports and internet doesn't work!!!

We had a virus so we reformatted the entire computer (we have an XP disk)

Now, the USB ports don't recognize anything and the internet doesn't work (connected to a wireless router with a ethernet cable or (obviously) with a USB internet thingy.

What can I do?

What brand is the PC or is it custom built?

What is the model name/model number ?

it sounds like you need device drivers, but without the exact make and model, we can't help you much.

It's an IBM thinkcentre, and I think it is an A50 but I'm not sure

No, you need ethernet and USB drivers, and the way to get them onto a computer with no internet access is to use a flash drive.
