dosfslabel finds problem, e2fsck does not



My system, Squeeze, cannot install the latest kernel image because
dosfslabel finds a problem that prevents the installation of linux-base.

Trying to resolve this I used e2fsck to check each of the disk
partitions and e2fsck reported all the partitions clean.  However, the
result of running dosfslabel /dev/hda1 results in the following output:


There are differences between boot sector and its backup.
Differences: (offset:original/backup)

  , 9:2e/00, 10:31/04, 12:02/ff, 13:08/1d, 14:20/f8, 15:00/0f, 16:02/00

This hard drive used to have windoze installed and could be booted.  The
windoze partition was reformated to be an ext2 partition.

Could it be that there is still a windoze mbr before the /dev/hda1
partition and fsdoslabel sees this but e2fsck does not?

If so, what can I do about it?
