Only if it is the version of Windows presently installed on your PC.
Also take into consideration whether OEM or retail.

The color doesn't sound correct. Most all Windows installation CD labels are a hologram. What you have sounds like a "Recovery" CD. You probably own a "name brand" computer, and that is the disk that you would use to do a fresh install of your operating system and what ever programs came with your system.
If you just want to run the "Recovery Console", any XP installation CD will work. It doesn't have to be yours. You are not installing XP, just using the disk to open the Console.

All I know is that Windows XP Service Pack 2 was released to fix several bugs in the windows operating system, without it - your computer is essentially defenseless against many problems.

Yes it is, when you reboot to the cd should you should be prompted with a list of differ rent boot options. Alternatively you can press the F5, F6, F8 & F9 keys which will do different things depending on the PC type.
Good Luck
