Two possible solutions.
1. Have you tried Safe Mode and then copying CSRSS.EXE. If you can, then boot your machine in Safe and put it in place.
2. If your HD is NTFS, you may find a boot configuration for floppy that allows reading the file and then copying it.
If the source disk is FAT32 or FAT, no problem. Boot and break out (F8) to "DOS" and copy file. You may have to use a 6.2 boot floppy in this case.
