That's the file you need but it needs to be expanded to it's full size..(to the root 
of C: )
You can use the recovery console, if you have set it up right with the MMC ( so you 
can use the SET commands)
See the SET commands in the win2k help files
You can also expand it to a 1.72 floppy and then copy it to the C: from the 3 1/2" 
disk.
Used GRDisk to make a 1.72 floppy...
If not you can use the software below to do it..
It will take a bit of work on your part to do it...
You can also use the repair on the win2k cd to get it back.. (the one under SETUP)

The tools are neat to have around because they are hard to find...
Read and Copy items from NTFS/or fat32 format in the DOS mode + more tools,see below
