freebsd stable - Jan 2005 - 5.3-STABLE failing to read 4.x-Stable hdd

I have a lot of data on the ad1 hdd from webpages i was hosting .. admittedly 
i got most backed up .. but there was a lot of other important data i cant 
re-retrieve without severe cost to myself which id rather very much not have 
to do.
