You cannot install and OS via a network, because you will need the CD during the setup process, and as the computer goes formats your drive you would be disconnected from the network, so it makes it impossible to install it via a network, only way i can suggest is by creating hte installation setup up on to floopy disk, but i am not sure if you can do it with windows XP Pro. hope it helps and good luck

It's possible, You need a system that supports PXE boot and a server to support DHCP, Bootp/PXE, and Install files. Windows Server 2003 Can do it as shown in the Screenshot.
