Boot with a windows 98 floppy disk which has NTFStoDos Pro on it as this
program will let you mount a non Fat partition to read and write.

But if you have Fat32 just a plain old Windows 9x/Me disk will do..

I can give you an idea.
try booting with the CD and go into Recovery Console.

Instructions
1. Insert XP or Win2k CD and run Recovery Console
2. Log in
If your Admin password (article ID 308402, SP1 didn't fix) fails as mine has
exploit XP flaw use Win2k CD (kind of funny you use one flaw to exploit
another.
3. insert floppy with good sys file and do a copy

Press F8 during boot up (if you see a message about "DMI pool data" hit it
then) and select the "Safe Mode" option. Make the change there.

Another perhaps easier method is to open a Command window and try the
following:

1. Start -> Run -> Type cmd -> Hit Enter
2. Change into the directory the .sys file goes into. Typically "cd
%WINDIR%\system32\drivers"
3. In the CMD window type the following:
ren driver.sys driver.sys.old & copy c:\binaries.x86\bin\driver.sys

Where c:\binaries.x86\bin is the actual path to where you have the file
to place.
4. Reboot. The file shoul dbe replaced on boot



Hope that helps.

He can use the "replace" command also to overwrite system files in use.
"replace /?"
