not have a CD drive. now I want to have a XP on it with out removing
w2k. Is there any way that I can install XP through network without

It can be done by mapping to the server location that is holding
the Windows XP installation files. Run setup from there but not
as an upgrade to the existing Windows 2000 installation. As an
additional safety factor, put Windows XP into a different drive
partition, e.g., Drive D, that has been prepared for it.
 
Hi,

I forgot to mention that is w2k server. is there any way to use share
folder or some thing like that.I mean the CD drive that is shared on
other computers.

Cross-post when necessary, but never multi-post. Cross-posting is when you
include two or more groups in the "Newsgroups:" section. In this scenario
the message and all responses are seen in all groups that the message was
cross-posted to. In other words any replies will automatically propagate to
the other newsgroup posts.

Multi-posting is when you post the same message to two or more groups
individually. In this scenario the message is seen in the groups it is
posted to, but the responses are only seen attached to the message (unless
you cross-post the reply) in which the response was made. So those that
frequent these groups then need to deal with or re-read the posts. It may
seem like a small thing to keep track of. But some of us actively traverse
50 or more groups. The poster also then must search out all of the posts to
see if there was a response.

As soon as I find out, I then generally leave 'm alone, let 'm be, let 'm
boil.

Everybody is expected to know and respect the law, err rules! ;-)))
