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:

When I use the /PBR4 switch the output is:

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.
