I moved some kext files from /System/Library/Extensions to ~/DisabledExtensions and now my Mac doesn't boot giving me "kernel panic" error related to some ATAPI driver.

I want to copy these kext files back on their place. How do I do this?

Is there some kind of Live-CD or Live-USB which will allow me to copy files?

Note:

  1. This is on macbook, so removing HD would be troublesome.

  2. I don't have another mac nearby

  3. Internet recovery doesn't work giving -2002F error

  4. There is no Recovery Partition on this macbook

  5. Single user mode and verbose mode doesn't work giving same panic error

  6. There is no Mac Os X installation DVD
