I recently had a new hard drive installed because my old one fried. I need to
re-install Windows XP, however my disc drive does not work. Is there any way
I can install my OS without actually putting the CD in my laptop?

anyone?

borrow a usb cd drive.

yes,sure...you can install it remotely if you still have OS on your laptop.

put the CD on another PC...an use this syntax on your laptop in Run => cmd:

remote machine IP address \i386\winnt32.exe

when your laptop launched,press F8 and switch to your new hard disk.

another solution is using windows live.
go to a store and ask them " I wanna Windows live " .
