Is there some way to install windows XP via network?

[Guest]

I would like to know if there is someway to install windows from network. Let's say to copy the cd files on another computer and boot the computer where you want to install windows on and get the files from "the server" via FTP or something and install windows from there.

Yep... It is called Remote Installation Service...

Take a look at

The article references Windows 2000, but the process is similar for
XP.
