No.
You will have to do a repair or full re installation of Windows so you will need your Windows disk. You may also have to ring up Microsoft and explain what you have done so they can give you a new key to enter in. If you chose to repair your Windows installation you will have to download all the updates again.

That disk might work, but probably not.
