Hello Leslie,
The short answer is No. And it would need more than a miracle to salvage
the situation if the partition information is lost.
Sorry if I broke your hopes.
But to look at the brighter side of things :
1) You would never have learnt so quickly so much about
Windows/FreeBSD/things to do/things not to do had you not run chkdsk
2) Niue is a beautiful country with a great landscape to cheer up even
the most regrettable scenario

1) Boot from your FreeBSD CD/DVD, enter the slice editor and
change the type of your FreeBSD slice back to 165. Do not press Q.
Press W instead. Conform with Yes to the warning, and then press
Ctrl+Alt+Del to abort the installation.
2) Boot from your FreeBSD CD/DVD again, and run boot0cfg -B in an
emergency shell.

I hope my message sounds less cryptic now. I personally don't have
anything against running chkdsk or fixmbr, AS LONG AS I have backed
up the important sectors.

Just in case you are not aware how to change the filesystem type in
the slice editor,
highlight your FreeBSD slice and press T. Make sure you enter 165 as
the filesystem
type, and then press W and confirm the change. Then press
Ctrl+Alt+Del and reboot.

Thank you for the advise you have provided.
I did as suggested and it was no problem at all.
Unfortunately it seems as if the partitions was destroyed as well. When
I look at the slice with the label editor it's empty. So chkdsk did a
thorough change unfortunately.
Can you think of anything that would bring back the partitions?
