Am Trying To Use Non-destructive System Recovery, Have Recvery Disks I Made

some time ago. After a repair done long time ago, the red Compaq logo never appeared on start-up, but a brief HP logo sometimes flashes very briefly. Windows XP then starts normally. Instructions for starting recovery call for pressing F1 key when Compaq logo appears. If I press Fi when screen is dark and logo should appear, is there any harm?
