Can you repair Windows over network?

Hi.
Can you somehow repair Windows XP using boot cd over the network on many computers at the same time instead of doing it one by one?

If you mean a "Windows XP Repair Install" on a 'normal' XP setup, I seriously doubt it. As soon as a computer starts to reboot it is disconnected from the network.

No, repair won't help me, tried.

I got 20 computers and a server in the same room.
I have to reinstall Windows XP Pro on all of them, but they are ancient so to do it individually on each pc will take about 2 weeks.
How can I install Windows over network so it will take maximum 2 days?

Introduction

This is a system for fully automating the installation of Windows 2000 Professional and Server, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003.

Features include:

• Automated install of operating system, hotfixes and applications.
• Full documentation and source code.
• Support for floppy, CD-ROM, and "nothing but net" installs.
• True unattended installation, not disk imaging.
• No Windows servers required; use your Unix servers instead.
• No Unix servers required; use your Windows servers after all.
• Completely free.

When you are finished setting up Unattended, you will be able to boot any PC from a floppy, from a CD-ROM, or directly from the network, answer a few questions, and come back an hour or two later to a fully-installed Windows workstation.

But be warned: This is not a ./configure && make install kind of project, and it is not a slick GUI app. You will need to understand at least a little of what goes on "under the covers", and you will need to perform some customization for your site.
