Deploy Xp over Home Network

Hi Guys,

I have a Dell Pc that i have to reinstall windows xp home sp2 on. The cdrom works on the pc, and its new. I wanted to try something different and install the OS through the Dell NIC Card.

I have three PC's on my network, 1 has Xp pro, another Knoppix 4.0 and the third Windows Server 2003 Eval. IS thier a site that has a set by step tutorial oh how i can accomplish this task.

Thank you for your time and patience,

This is an easy task. All you need to do is create a network boot disk for the computer in question and ensure the network drive that stores the i386 folder is shared with read privileges (Guest turned on).

Find out what name brand, make and model that NIC is, obtain the NDIS drivers (this is the DOS driver) and create a network disk, there may be a “readme” that accompanies it that will instruct you exactly how to do this.
