FFS driver is doing the trick perfectly, it took a couple of reboots 
before I got it to work (only used hibernation in Windows since I 
installed FreeBSD so Windows didn't see the partition yet.)

I haven't tried UFS2tools.sourceforge.net yet, but I will definitely try.

Thanks every one for the great help :-)
