Warren I should have mentioned that before. dd was the first thing I tried. I had an unused drive setup as UFS. Then did dd if=/dev/da1s1 of=/dev/ad12s1d bs=1m count=2000 thinking I could try the first two gigabytes and then go from there. It look like it went fine but then I could not mount the ad12s1d partition. It was able to mount it previously. Going back even further, When I first realized there was a problem with this drive, I booted with 8.1 livefs. The drive had lost it's id that showed it was NTFS. I used "sade" and marked it as NTFS but was never able to mount it. It is very possible that I messed it up but I was having all sorts of problems with that computer and XP pro doesn't exactly help one out. Thanks again for your time. Robert
