    Generally speaking, no.

    There are certain instances in which you can do this... but they include things like having a remote KVM (or HP's nifty iLO that they have on servers), and some way to boot the PC to a network controller using PXE with a server that has the OS files on it, or if the computer you need to reinstall the OS on is a virtual machine.

    But generally speaking, no, you cannot reinstall the OS on a computer remotely.
