Can I use Disk Utility from an old OS DVD?

[SpookTheHamster]

I'm getting massively long boot times on my MBP with a progress bar showing. From what I've been able to gather this could be due to a corrupt disk, and Disk Utility in OS X agrees that my disk needs repair.

However, I'm not near my Snow Leopard DVD, I only have my Leopard DVD. Can I use Disk Utility on the Leopard DVD to repair a disk with Snow Leopard installed?

Since they both use HFS+ format, I would think it would be fine. Not sure any actual file replacement is done during disk repair. Could be wrong.

I suspect it will be fine, but interested to hear either way.
