The disk that came with your new computer is a 'image' of that computer. It is still the operating system but it is setup to install on that new computer only. It contains all the hardware and driver information as well as any network information and programs specifically for that new computer.

If you try to install it on another computer it will install but it will format your harddrive and install the hardware device drivers for the computer it came with.

I highly reccomend NOT installing it on any computer except the one it came with.
