Yes, if it is the disk that came with the computer, just insert, do a hard shut down (hold power button until turn-off), turn on, and "press any key to start from disK" at the very beginning. Inserting a random boot disK may have unpredictable results, but successful results have been achieved with quite dissimilar-sounding systems.; you should be ripping out quite a bit of unwanted software, anyway--just do custom installs.

A boot disk is a removable digital data storage medium from which a computer can load and run an operating system or utility program. A boot disk (sometimes called a startup disk) is a type of removable media, such as a floppy disk or a CD, that contains startup files that your computer can use to start Windows. The startup files are also stored on your computer's hard disk, but if those startup files become damaged, you can use the files on a boot disk to start Windows. In earlier operating systems that used the FAT or FAT32 file systems, such as Windows 95 and Windows 98, a boot disk was especially useful because it allowed a person to access files on a hard disk even if Windows was unable to start. This ability also represented a security risk, because anyone with a boot disk and access to the computer could start the computer and access any file. Hard disks formatted with NTFS have built-in security features that prevent using a boot disk to access files. The Windows installation disc contains the files necessary to start Windows, so it is itself a boot disk. If a problem is preventing Windows from starting, you can use the installation CD to start Windows. The installation CD also contains Startup Repair, which you can use to repair Windows if a problem prevents it from starting correctly. Startup Repair can automatically fix many of the problems that in the past required a boot disk to fix

What is bootable CD?
A bootable CD has an operating sytem (usually a form of Linux or Windows) copied to the CD starting at track 0 on the CD. If your computer has a bios that defines one of your CD drives in the power on/restart boot sequence, you can boot your system from such a CD. Bootable CDs are used by developers/software companies to install Windows and Linux onto your computer's hard drive. Bootable CDs are also used by some anti-virus products to allow a "for sure" clean scan capability on a possibly infected system. Bootable CDs are activated by placing the CD in the CD drive, powering the computer down, a then powering the computer back on (cold boot). The power on boot usually follows a sequence of 1) check floppy drive for bootable disk, 2) check CD drive for bootable CD, and then 3) boot from designated hard drive.
