Hi fbsd_user, Happy to help!
The tools I used were: > dd (pre-installed in FreeBSD) > chexedit (available under /usr/ports/editors/chexedit) In terms of literature I read a great deal, all of which was helpful. Perhaps the most helpful links though were: o http://www.ata-atapi.com/hiwchs.htm o http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q140418/ o http://www.ranish.com/part/primer.htm o http://cnlart.web.cern.ch/cnlart/236/disk_partition.html o http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Large-Disk-HOWTO.html#s6 o http://mirror.href.com/thestarman/asm/mbr/DiskTerms.htm o http://home.att.net/~rayknights/pc_boot/w95b_mbr.htm o http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8661 o http://www.digit-life.com/articles/bootman/index.html o http://www.uneraser.com/mbr-damaged.htm o http://www.storagereview.com/guide2000/ref/hdd/file/part.html o http://linux.com.hk/penguin/man/8/gpart.html You might also like to look into the tool "gpart", the last link in the list above. I didn't need anything that sophisticated fortunately. Good luck!!
