Hey William,
Was in a similar situation about a month ago.. I knew the drive was on its
way out but once it went, i could not retrieve the data nor use it under
freebsd even under a new system. My drive had physical issues.
I got the drive, stuck it in a 3.5inch usb enclosure and plugged it into a ms
windows box. Then I used a free proggy called ffsdrv which i found on
sourceforge.

It enables you to read BSD(FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD) FFS partitions on
Windows 2000/XP/2003.

Managed to get all data off this way.
This is just what I was looking for to mount an FBSD drive on XP. Thanks!
I was able to completely transfer all data from the drive just now.
