The short answer is "yes", provided you leave both the (small) utility
partition and the image partition intact w/o changing their properties.

There are probably a few ways to do this, and I've not done it myself.

If you alter or remove either partition there's a risk of killing that
function.

Google dsrfix.
You will need this program and the info about the Dell recovery
partition.
