Are you asking if you can use the CDROM from another machine to run a CD install? If that is the question, yes you can. You would just need to share the CDROM drive from the other machine and map to it from the Server. When you do the install, just browse to that shared drive thru explorer.

If your OS crashed (About answer1) you cant use any share.
You can try to use Administrative tools\Network Client Administrator - and use one of this options to start reinstall of OS from diskette.
Hope this help you

If you create a DOS boot disk with the network drivers then you can access any share on your network(with 8 or less characters in the share name!!) This can be a shared CD drive or a shared folder on another system. Then remember to run the 16 bitsetup of NT.
