Installing Windows XP from HDD?

$

Hi, I have no USB boot support or a CD/DVD drive so I can't install new operating systems. Or so I thought - until I found EasyBCD, with it I successfully installed Windows 8 along my Windows 7 install. Now I would also like to have XP for some older games, but I'm not sure how I would install it. Thing is, if you extract the Windows 8 installation ISO there is a file called BOOT.WIM which you can specify under WinPE and boot the installation from. But in the Windows XP ISO there is no such thing. I tried booting directly from the ISO but the installation gave me an error almost right away. Is there another way to install XP straight from the HDD?
