Everything is exactly the same as when I tried only 60GB. I am now
going to zero the 1TB drive and dd the 500GB drive to it.
dd if=/dev/da1 of=/dev/ad6 bs=1m
I will then try windows chkdsk on the 1TB drive.
Thanks to everyone who has added input. If I can get this working I
will summarize what it took to solve this puzzle.

Of course she knows that the computer died and that I am in the process
of recovering all of her data. I re-installed XP Pro on another
computer and moved what data I did save onto it. She is happy that she
can check email, balance her check book and play on Facebook. :-)
We will be drinking wine tonight.
To be continued.
