Network Boot (windows xp) from my main CP
 

i have a network card with the option of network boot and i have a laptop HP DV9000 without a working CD drive so i was searching how to install win xp from my main computer (in the bios menu there is network boot option so i assume that its possible) to my laptop


basically what i want is formatting my laptop with my main computer (theorically using my CD drive on my cp to format my laptop with just a network cable)

i found this french article about it but i didn't understand much

supinfo-projects


i found this too but didnt understand much

so any help will be welcome
and thx everyone

OMG no one in this forum can help me ??
no one knows about network booting ?

If I remember correctly you need to start a tftp server in order to install Windows from the network.
Easier method would be to boot from the USB stick instead.

Install Windows over the network with PXE » Lockstockmods

Sounds pretty complicated.... the alternate ways to install it (like USB drives) sound better, if the laptop is capable of booting from USB.

i can't thank you enought for this godly link (sounds understandable)
i ll try it as soon as i get home
thx again

Try PXE Boot Windows - the easy way » Lockstockmods instead, its much easier and quicker than the first one

I never tried this one: WINNER (Windows Is Not Necessary for Everyone's RIS)
