At the command prompt in Recovery Console, type the following line, and then press ENTER: expand d:\i386\driver.cab /f:filename [path] In this command, replace d: with the CD-ROM drive letter, filename with the name of the file to expand, and path with the folder in which to copy the driver file. Typically, driver (.sys) files are stored in the %SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers folder. For example, to replace the Atimpab.sys driver file, you might type: expand d:\i386\driver.cab /f:atimpab.sys %systemroot%\System32\Drivers\ Note that in this command, you must use the /f switch because the Driver.cab cabinet file contains more than one file.
