Okay, I did something stupid. Can anyone help me out?

I have been running LINUX on my thinkpad 750. A friend gave me an unused 750
hard drive with all the DOS 6.30 software and stuff on it. I turned on
compression succuessfully, and moved the DOS directory to the uncompressed
drive. This is all well and good, execpt that, being a UNIX weenie, I assumed
that the xcopy included recursive directires by default. I don't have any
backup (although I should... i know ... i know) and would like to know if some
one can tell me how I can get the SYSTEM and DATA directories under the DOS
directory back? I doubt this system is under support and IBM isn't very help
ful about that usually anyway. Thanks...
