Install XP pro without monitor

I have a problem, I am at a remote location and have no access to an external monitor. I need to install XPpro on a fitpc2i. It came diskless and I put a SSD in there that is blank. I have XPpro SP3 on a CD and I have an external CDrom drive. I do have a PC laptop and a Mac laptop and an old Television. I have ethernet cables and crossover cables.

Is there any way that someone can suggest a possible way to install XPPro on the SSD in the fitpc2i? is there some way to use my laptop monitor as the monitor and keyboard for the fitPC2i during install?

Many thanks!

I also have a local network and network switch, could I maybe do the install over the network from one machine to the fitPC2i?

You can prepare a WinXP image using imagex or Ghost like programs, and then extract it on the SSD
