How to install xp on a pc without cd-rom?

[darmin.memisevic]

Hello,

I am trying to install a copy of xp on a pc that didn't come with a
cd-rom or a floppy drive. Is there a way to install via network or
some other method without using a cd-rom ?

Thanks

What about using a usb cd drive? Does the BIOS support booting from a usb
device? IIRC, network installs of XP require that you have a RIS server.

If you have some kind of operating system installed on the system already eg
an earlier version of Windows, then it may be possible via network.
