Will do so soon. Just a followup. I finally got around to downloading the gparted boot disk and it worked just fine. I was able to muck with my external USB drive all I wanted.

You could get round it by recompiling your kernel with MSDOSFS_LARGE but there were some limitations on it's use. I'm sure google would find further info. In the latest versions of FreeBSD this has been changed from a kernel option, to a mount time option. Try 'mount_msdosfs -o large /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usb' If that does not help you might wish to run 'fdisk /dev/da0' and 'file /dev/da0s1' to find out what the disk is already formatted as. If nothing else works I guess you can always use fdisk/bsdlabel/newfs to reformat the disk with a standard FreeBSD filesystem - assuming that there is not already some files on that disk that you wish to read. -- Insert your favourite quote here.

If all else fails, can you connect to a a Windows machine and see what it thinks it is?

Thus verify that mounding /dev/da0/s1c will not destroy data before mounting. Maybe bsdlabel would be of help here? It should show you the slices on the drive and then you can try mounting.
