Aaah, that sounds like a partition MOUNTED BY ?LINUX? and not by the dos
kernel.
This means, you are unlikely to be able to undelete anything from within
freedos in your current configuration, you'd need a unix tool,
Or --
boot into FreeDos OUTSIDE Dosemu/UNIX, e.g. maybe from a
floppy bootdisk.
-- run a DOS based 'undelete' from there...
Or --
- unmount /mnt/C ("umount /mnt/C") then:-
- comment (#) out the entry for /mnt/C in /etc/fstab
- arrange for DosEmu to provide 'raw access' to that device to
Dos inside DOSEMU (I think this is possible but I don't know
if this is 'safe' or how to do this). Maybe this would only
work on a WHOLE-HARDDISK and not a per-partition basis.
- run a DOS based 'undelete' from there...
There IS seemingly a freedos 'undelete' available from:-
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/undelete/
I am not sure how well this program works, though.

I wonder if that works via the serial-port in a way that works natively
in linux?

Let me know what happens.
