Warren, thanks for the link. I will be reading it and increasing my understanding of NTFS. I do not think there is anything physically wrong with the disk. I just cannot reach the data on it. Using "photorec" I have all files moved to a spare slice on this FreesBSD machine. It appears that there is less than 60G of actual data on the drive. Most of it is not needed so it will take quite awhile to sort the wanted from the unwanted. I have a spare 250G hard drive. Can I use "dd" to capture 250 gigs from the old drive? Using da1 and ad12 as the if and of will the result be an NTFS formatted 250g drive? Will I have the same results, i.e. able to mount ad12 but not ad12s1? Should I zero out the 250g drive first? Can "ddrescue" do a better job? This drive was used for a backup of of the Docs&Sets "folders" of the XP drive. It also had music and photo files that are also on the FreeBSD computer so they are not that critical. The Docs&Sets folders are the most important to recover so if I can access the data, I can burn it to DVD. Thanks again to all who have responded. Robert
