I've got netboot set up on my Mac mini, but I can't figure out how to get it to serve my Windows XP iso file. I guess my question can go either way:

How do I get NetBoot on my Mac mini to serve the Windows XP iso over netboot

or

How do I install Windows as a dual boot on my Mac mini without a working dvd drive?

You don't mention which version of Windows, but I'm guessing Windows 7. There's a nifty little tool to do it with a USB drive here. Requires a Windows PC to make the bootable thumb drive though.

Simple Answer you can't use Netboot as it only supports Mac OS X. Easiest way would be to use a USB CD Drive, if you'll be mass deploying it the take a look at Deploy Studio.

But if you're comfortable with Visualization then you can use the remote disc function of mac os x in conjunction with VMware Fusion.
