I am in deep with the wife. Her computer went belly up. It was running
XP pro and I had backups going to a second drive. I can no longer access
that drive.

I pulled it and attached it via USB to one of my FreeBSD machines but
it will not mount. It is a 500G hard drive and I get _wild_ results just
looking at it with fdisk.

Wait a minute... shouldn't that be just "da1"? da1s1 is the first slice (partition), and the data there should be your XP filesystem, probably NTFS.
