You could network the machines and "share" the CD drive on the laptop to be
useable on the desktop? Just access the CD drive in the laptop from the
PC - just like any other network drive - you'd have to "map" it through the
networking options.
Then it shows up in "My COmputer" as a networked drive.

I have a genuine Windows XP Professional SP2 CD with me, but the system on
which I want to install Win XP doesn't have a CD Drive. The system already
has Windows 2000 Professional, I want to install Win XP over it. I copied
the
contents of the Win XP CD to the hard disk of my computer using cross-wire
cable and connecting it to my laptop (which has a DVD Drive). The setup
started very well from the hard-disk, but then after first reboot during
the
setup, it says something like "Setup cannot continue, could not find file
xxxxxxxx.dll" and the setup aborts. I searched on the Internet for a
solution, but everyone says that it is not possible to install Win XP
without
a CD/DVD drive. Can you please help me out in the installation?
Thanks,
Vivek Gupta
