DSR Help!

I bought an E1505 last week and it came with a 100GB hard disk partitioned to 65GB Windows NTFS/ 20GB NTFS/ 8GB FAT32. It has Windows XP Media Center installed.
 
I would like to use Dell's DSR to recover the XP but got a message about no recovery point. The output from dsrfix is:
 
DSRFIX - Dell DSR Analyzer, version 2.20

 ùgood : boot code matches dell mbr v3.

 ùgood : pbr descriptor 2 is type 07.

 ùinfo : pbr descriptor 4 is type DB.
 ùgood : pbr1 is fat16, label is DellUtility.
 fatal: pbr3 is not fat32.
 alert: reference partition table not in sync.
 
When I use the /PBR4 switch the output is:

 ùgood : pbr1 is fat16, label is DellUtility.
 ùgood : pbr4 is fat32, label is DellRestore.
 ùgood : reference partition table in sync.
 
It seems like the restore partition is there but not at the "expected" location for DSR. Can someone please tell me how I can recover?
 
Thank you in advance.
