W2K and agp440.sys

I updated my OS to SP4 using the disk provided by MS. At the same time I added a USB card. Everything ran fine until I switched the computer off because the next time I switched it on it froze during the booting stage. When I booted in Safe mode it froze at Winnt\System32\Drivers\agp440.sys I searched different forums and one suggestion was to copy this file off another computer onto mine. I can locate the file in another computer and copy it to a floppy but I don't know how to transfer it onto mine. I downloaded Win98 bootdisk from bootdisk.com but when I changed to c: prompt there was no Winnt directory displayed. Thanks in advance.
