So what happens when you lose the HDD? Since new HDD's have no boot loader or partitions, How's the system know where the installation files are? Is this done through some BIOS magic? I've used ghost server to multicast recovery images over networks, even then I had to add a ghost boot partition to the blank drives inorder for the system to find the OS files. (That was done with a floppy or a CD.)
