if your installing windows via another PC then it wont work, the hard drive has to be connected to thr computer its going to be used in. if you cant boot form a CD then i cant think of a way to load up XP :( others may be able to help
 
ps

i have access to any operating system in cluding all the dos ones if that helps anyone just thinking if i loaded say win 95 would it work but tried it and it failed so if you know of a way tell me please
