Default Installing Windows XP from hard drive

Hello,

I would like to install XP from a hard drive, instead of the normal way using CD.

I have the Windows XP installation disk copied to a hard drive partition; no installed operating system currently exists on the disk.
Can anyone tell me which boot tool I need, so that I can boot from CD and then point to that hard drive partition and start the installation?

Incidentally, this is for an unintended installation. What should the script be named? unattend.txt? WINNT.SIF?

Thanks for any comments!
