Yes, if the Windows part of your system is normal. But the purpose of the
the startup disk is not to boot to Windows, but to boot to real mode DOS, without
Windows running, so you can perform certain DOS functions. If your Windows is messed
you probably won't be able to boot to Windows with the disk.
