That I trusted the chkdsk program to do what I told it to do was in
retrospect a bit naive ;-) I do have a backup although it's not as
recent as I would have liked.
Can you think of any way to perhaps recover the data from the freebsd
partition?
I trust that you by now have discovered that your trust was never breached
by Microsoft (for once). Microsoft firmly believes that Windows is the only
OS that should reside on a PC's disk. Therefore running chkdsk with force
was only an invitation to Microsoft to run amok.
BTW, the reason I replied to this message was not to provide you with a
solution but with a trivial yet good bit of precaution I use on my own
dual-boot PC, wherein ad4s1 is NTFS/Windows and ad4s2 is my FreeBSD slice.
Right after installation of FreeBSD, I ran :
dd if=/dev/ad4 of=ad4.512 bs=512 count=1
dd if=/dev/ad4s2 of=ad4s2.512 bs=512 count=1
dd if=/dev/ad4s2a of=ad4s2a.512 bs=512 count=1
No matter how Windows screws up the MBR or FreeBSD's slice, recovering from
the situation is simple enough.

Thank you for your comment.
I must admit that I do not fully understand what it is you do.
Will you explain the details, Please?
Thanks
