    Not sure what you really need. But for me it sounds like you want to setup a PXE boot which will serve a installable image of windows XP to bare metal machines in your network. If this is the case just setup PXE boot on your RHEL machine. And create images of windows to served from the boot menu you can use Clonezilla see clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live/#use for details.

  2. Linux boot sector information and Windows boot information are quite different so it is quite difficult to configure both from same installation server especially from Linux server, but there is a scenario when use solutions like Acronis PXE server, that will install an image of existing system on the rest of the systems, in your case I think this option is workable.
