If the disk from the PC has the right form factor (9.5 mm, 2.5") and  
connection (IDE) then you can use it.
It sounds as though you do not have a backup of your dead disk, that  
is more than unfortunate.
So you have to start again.  Without the disks and without a backup,  
it is not easy.
MacOS 10.4 was not around at the time that Ti-books were sold.
If I remember correctly, OS X came out around the time that I received  
my first Ti-book (March 2001), but was definitely not installed on  
delivery.
So even if I could find my original Ti-disks, I am sure they would  
have been OS 9.2.
Better to bite the bullet, move to Leopard, buy an external disk, and  
use TimeMachine.
