No VGA.sys. Accessing the NTFS partition

Help!

In NT4 environment, server was configured to use VGA.sys
as the video driver because of prior problem trying to
increase resolution, number of colors and/or change
driver. In trying to force NT4 to use different video
driver on reboot, I renamed the default VGA.sys driver.

Well, as you're probably already aware, NT4 never looks
for a different driver on bootup! It simply errors out
when it tries to activate the video driver and does a
memory dump. The server never boots up.

How can I get to the NTFS partition in order to rename
the VGA driver back?

Thnx in advance for your help
