Network booting?

[ben-mr]

Hi.

Basicly one of my laptops is really messed up and theres all of my stuff on it, and no backups.
It can't find the ntldr file so it won't start windows.
Now, what i want to do is this:
Connect the broken comp to another computer using a kable, And boot to windows from the other pc, i have seen ppl do this, so i know that you can.
Then i will back all my stuff up onto some storage, and do a full format.
The thing that i am stuck on is how to network boot the broken laptop?
Both are running windows xp pro inclu sp2.
Thanks,

BEN-MR

you have a cd-rom drive on this lappy
reinstall windows in /windows2/, back up your stuffd and voila
