The disk itself will work, but a Dell OEM product key is licensed only for distribution with (and use on) a Dell PC, so there would be no way to legally activate the operating system if it is installed via the Dell OEM disc.

What happens when you wipe your computer with a Dell disc and your computer isn't Dell?
That depends on exactly what brand of computer you have, and what operating system was originally installed on the computer being, "wiped" and the computer the Dell disk came from. There are two types of Windows besides the whole Home, Pro, Ultimate etc., Retail and OEM. If the registration information for Windows that came with the computer is going to be reused, and the computer was running the same OS as what is on the Dell disk, in most cases I think that the system will allow a complete reinstall of Windows. If the computer was not running an OEM version of Windows and never has, the Dell Disk would not be able to install properly. A retail version of Windows should be able to be installed on any system that it legally can be installed on that meets the minimum system requirements.

How do i troubleshoot the fact that Mac OS X Tiger does not start?
Insert the Tiger installation disc. Restart the computer while holding down the C key. This will boot the computer from the installation disc rather than the hard disc. If it does not boot from the installation disc you will need to take the computer to a repair shop to be checked. If the computer starts up from the installation disc check the hard disc with Disk Utility. (I think there is a Utilities/Tools menu from the Desktop). If the hard disc check reveals some problems Disk Utility will attempt to fix them and you can then try restarting from the hard disc normally. If there are no problems (or it still refuses to start up after fixing the hard disc) then you will need to reinstall Tiger. Choosing the Archive and Install (See links below) option will preserve all your stuff but ideally you would have a back up copy of your hard disc on an external disc.
