I have old Toshiba Satellite A-80 Laptop with XP Home. I want to format my system and install Windows XP again. The problem is that my CD/DVD ROM is not functioning. I dont have an option to boot from USB in my BIOS. I dont want to purchase USB CD ROM. My BIOS has an option to boot from LAN. I surfed on net on how to boot and install xp from net, i found something about RIS Server and PXE, but I could understand nothing out of them. I dont have a Windows Server Machine. I have another machine with Win XP SP2 and Ubuntu 9.04 installed. I want to use this system to format my laptop. Can somebody guide me on how to format my laptop using another system without Windows 2003 RIS server.
