No. Panther and Tiger install discs and disk utility are not intercambiable. Running 10.3's Disk Utility will only do harm.

Or rather, it wouldn't even boot that computer, since it seems to be a disk set that came with a different computer (only meant to boot _that_ computer). But Giaguara is right, too, of course. You need the installation disk for Tiger. Either the one that came with the computer you're running Tiger on or a retail Tiger installation disk.
