Installing Windows XP without a cd rom

[TheOneWhoIsMany]

is it possible to install windows xp without the cd rom?

i have a Toshiba protégé 7200 however the cd room has just died and hence i'm now unable to install xp. is there some way i can do a network install or is it possible to do something similar to what we used to do in 98 days be copying over the 1386 folder?

the floppy drive still works so i can boot of that.

You can do it across the network. Microsoft has the info on their site. Here's some info on boot disks:
