Hello,
Thank you for your reply. How would i go about doing this copy so i
could use a vnode on it? As i think i mentioned dump didn't like it. One
other thing i can mount the ad1a, ad1d, ad1f, and ad1g partitions just fine,
it's the ad1e partition only that is giving me the grief and that's the one
i need!
Thanks.
Dave.

First, copy the entire drive to a file on another drive. Don't mess
around with the original drive. The vnode disk driver is your friend.
I can't find the quick-and-dirty tool I hacked up a few years back when
I needed to recover a MBR... however one can scan a sector at a time,
find likely partitions, then manually create a disklabel. (You see why
you want to play with an image mounted via vnode!)
