Replacing Active Files

One method involves using the Resource Kit batch file utility mv.exe, which is a POSIX port to NT which replaces a normally in-use file with another specified file during boot.

    mv /x /d {full path to new file} {full path to old file}

This method Involves making a special ERD disk, booting to your Setup disks, and running a Repair to Inspect System Files only.

    The Special ERD

  1. Run rdisk.exe to make a new ERD
  2. Copy the new file to the ERD
  3. Open the setup.log file on the ERD
  4. Delete all the lines in the [Files.WinNt] section
  5. In this same section, add one line for each file replace operation you want to do, in the following format:

    \WINNT\system32\{filename} = "{filename}", "99999", "\", "ERD Disk", "{filename}"

    Note: the first part, the path, is the path to the file you want to replace.
