Ok so your suspecting the DHCP server on your network refuses to repond to the pxe booting win7 laptop because it is not in the domain.
Unless there is a way to get your DHCP server to play nice (not an expert in this area), the other option maybe to setup a small standalone FOG server with it's own dhcp to initially register and push an xp image to the laptops. The FOG server doesn't care about if your in a domain or not. It sounds like once you get XP on them it's clear sailing. I'm not aware of the numbers your talking about , but it may be an option.

On the win7 starter netbooks I want to image I have the bios setup the same as the xp pro netbook. I am guessing since win 7 starter is not domain savy it is not booting from pxe.

If I understand correctly, your trying to blow away the win7 starter and put on XP-PRo . Correct? Can you get into the BIOS on those ASUS's?
