Laptops help needed - laptop cd drive not working

viralbug

Forerunner
i have an old laptop whos cdrw drive has stopped working. it isnt detected even by the bios. the chances of making it work look slim.
it isnt really a problem for me because i never actually use it. but i wanted to reinstall win xp and ubuntu. for this i need to make the installation run from a cd. i have another laptop but it has a sata hard disk and this old one doesnt have sata.
is there anyway i can reinstall my os? is it possible to install if i connect it to the other laptop through lan?
