Reinstall windows on new comp?

[animaListic]

I have a Dell Dimension 4200 and I'm building a completely new computer, new motherboard, everything fresh new, but I had planned to keep the HD from the Dell, and I have my "Dell Windows Reinstall" disc, I'm pretty sure it's just standard Windows XP Home Edition SP1. Is it possible for me to just use that HD that has Windows on it now and put it on my new computer, and just reformat the harddrive and install windows on it with my dell windows reinstall disc?

It depends on what the Dell cd is. Is it just the os or a resuce cd?

Operation System - Already Installed On Your Computer - Reinstallation CD - Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Including Service Pack 1a.

That's what the CD itself says, it's a red disc, I've used it other times to reinstall my windows on my dell and I figured I could just use it to reinstall windows on my new computer and save myself a good 80$.
