freebsd stable - Jan 2005 - 5.3 prob reading 4.11 hdd

I recently took my primary hdd running FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE out of my main 
machine leaving my 2ndry hdd in the machine and installing FreeBSD5.3-STABLE 
on it to use as the new primary.  When everything was done and i plugged in 
the 2nd hdd that originally had 4.11-STABLE on it, i was unable to find the 
individual partitions/slices on there to mount so i could access all the old 
data i had.  I have a basic understanding of FreeBSD but am still not quite 
proficent when it comes to this sort of thing.  Fdisk only shows 1 partition 
so does disklabel. Below is the disklabel output 
of the drive im wanting to get all the data from...

#ad1s1
8 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  c: 234436482        0    unused        0     0         # "raw" part,
don't

  e: 234436482        0    4.2BSD     2048 16384    89

Any help in recovering the copius amounts of data would be greatly 
appreciated.

Do you have any files on ad1s1e?

Looks like you actually installed 5.3 on your 4.11 drive instead of
your spare drive.
Unless you had recently disklabeled ad1s1.
