Is it possible to connect my laptop in the following way:

Wirelessly to my Dir-625 wich has internet access
and Wired to my Di-524 which doesn't have internet access.

The reason why I want to do this is to share my hard drive with my sister's network- the wired connection- as she can't have internet access.

I tried by having the wireless connected to the Dir-625 and the wired connected to the di-524, but when I go to access the internet, nothing appears... it says page cannot be found. When I unplug the wire, Then I can access the internet again.

How can I set this up so that I can connect both and still have full internet access?

I have found this link: http://www.homenethelp.com/web/howto/windows-xp-bridge.asp  that is sort of similar to what I am trying to do, except for my setup is as follows:

Cable Modem -> Dir-625
Laptop connects to DIR-625 via Wireless and Connects to Di-524 via wire.
How Can I "bridge" the connections so that I can access the internet and both networks?

I have tried bridging in xp but it doesn't seem to work correctly.

Don't bridge them, just make sure they use different networks (i.e. 192.168.0.x and 192.168.1.x) and make sure that you set a static IP with no default gateway on the non-internet router.
