There are many ways for data recovery, it just depends what state the drive is in.

Your running FAT 32 most likely on the old win98 drive, and most likely NTFS file system on the XP drive.

When you say you copied it in dos, you just did start-run CMD

There is no dos prompt or dos built into win XP anymore.

Has the heads on the drive crashed? Does it click or make strange sounds? Thats when data recovery gets expensive, but not impossible.

Goto CMOS at the bootup of your system and see if the drive is detected, if so find a WIN98 machine and make a boot disk off of it.

Boot up w/ the win 98 disk and when you get to dos run a quick scandisk on the crashed drive.

after you do that copy what you can over from dos.
