Ahhh.. Ok... Yea that's why. I don't know why it's an underscore, but yea that's part of the file name. I think the OS changes it to .sys during the installation. Don't worry about the INI file.

Do:

COPY H:\I386\volsnap.sy_ C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\volsnap.sys

If that goes through, type EXIT and recovery console should close and your computer should start rebooting. Hurry up and kick out the CD and see if windows starts normally. If not, let me know.
As far as I know, the file needs to be saved with the .sys extension... if you still can't boot, we'll try copying it to your drivers folder as a .sy_ but I really doubt that's a valid file extension. The .sys should work fine. As far as the .ini file, I don't have one in my system32\drivers folder so it's obviously not needed. Probably something for installation.
