    Installation through Network
    Hi;

    I have got a Laptop from a User without a functioning CD ROM drive and I don't have one (CD ROM) for that Laptop which functions.

    The Laptop requires Reinstallation (Windows XP Pro & other required Software). Now, is there anyway that I can install this Laptop by connecting it to the Network? Like I have my Desktop Computer that has a functioning CD - ROM- Can I have my Desktop Computer's CD - ROM shared & let it to be used by the LAPTOP through network during the installation process?

    Please help me with this issue

    Many Thanks;

    You should have the LAN setup so that you can install through the network.
