How to repair driver_name.sys from a virus attack
For individual user who had missing drivers, then please use this tutorial and repair them. Right-now, we are going to recover or replace: “driver_name.sys” from a bad sector.
However, you must have a copy of “Windows XP CD” for this procedure.
Notes: you’ll need to replace: “Driver_Name” with your missing / corrupted driver. For example, if you have a missing / corrupted “NTFS.sys” file, then I’ll need to record this driver and recover this file only. But, it must be done with a valid “Windows XP disk.”

1.] Insert Windows XP installation CD / DVD and don’t forget to configure your BIOS.
2.] Launch the Recovery Console by pressing R on your keyboard. It will only be active when the “Welcome to Setup” screen is displayed.
3.] When you’re in the recovery console, you’ll need to select your Windows XP – boot file.
If you have a multi-boot system, just select the ones that you need to fix.
4.] Provide administrator password and press ‘Enter’ – if you have not set an administrative password, just press ‘Enter’ and continue.
5.] At command prompt, type the following commands and press ‘Enter’. After that, it will make a backup of your existing driver file.

6.] Copy the new driver file from the Windows XP CD to the system.
copy X:\i386\driver_name.sy_ C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\driver_name.sys
Notes: you’ll need to replace X with your current disk drive.
7.] Finally, exit the Recovery Console; remove “Windows Xp installation CD” and restart your computer.
8.] Start windows normally and check for any errors.
Enjoy!
