Yes, you cannot install XP on a machine other than the one it is intended to go to, barring some sort of PE environment or ghost like features. What you can do, however, is fdisk and format the partitions, and then copy the install directory to the drive. If you can boot from a floppy drive or other device, or even sys from the CD to the C: drive, you can then install XP from the drive itself.

grub-reboot

GRUB-REBOOT(8)						  System Administration Utilities					    GRUB-REBOOT(8)

NAME

       grub-reboot - set the default boot entry for GRUB, for the next boot only

SYNOPSIS

       grub-reboot [OPTION] MENU_ENTRY

DESCRIPTION

       Set the default boot menu entry for GRUB, for the next boot only.

       -h, --help
	      print this message and exit

       -V, --version
	      print the version information and exit

       --boot-directory=DIR
	      expect GRUB images under the directory DIR/grub instead of the /boot/grub directory

       MENU_ENTRY is a number, a menu item title or a menu item identifier. Please note that menu items in submenus or sub-submenus require speci-
       fying the submenu components and then the menu item component. The titles should be separated using the greater-than character (>) with	no
       extra  spaces.  Depending on your shell some characters including > may need escaping. More information about this is available in the GRUB
       Manual in the section about the 'default' command.
