If I replace my hard drive with used one?

If I replace my hard drive with used one will it use the operating system on the used one?

I have a computer with a 7MB hard drive that has windows 98 if I replace it with a used one that has windows xp and is 40MB will it use the xp?

Update:

I knew it would. But I was making sure.

Update 2:

OK so I tried it but it didnt work...I was wondering if the hardrive has to correspond with the cpu processor or the memory? and yes I meant GB not MB.

    Yes it will use xp. The Os is stored on the harddrive as for everything else. And btw i hardly doubt windows xp can fit on a 40mb hard drive unless you ment 40gb?
