To move it, use mv
To copy it, use cp
Then for the case you've described go to the directory where Extras.rsrc is located and type
sudo cp Extras.rsrc System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Frameworks/HiToolBox.framework/Versions/A/Resources/
*swap cp for mv in the above if you want to move the file rather than copy
You'll need sudo because your user account will not have rights to the /System area without temporarily promoting it.

When I did this, it said something about no such file or directory. I'm trying to do this from the Leopard install disk.
oh ok
have a go at this one...
First check you hard drive name

I put in my Leopard install DVD to test this. What I did:
It appears it works as designed. What are you doing differently?
- Navigated to /Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD
- execute: pwd and view result
- execute: cd ~/Desktop
- excute: pwd and view result
Code:
Macintosh:Mac OS X Install DVD myaccount$ pwd

I can't log into my computer because the Extras.rsrc and Extras2.rsrc files have corrupt. I've got my MacBook booted off the Leopard install disk.
I got to my Desktop, where the non-cprrupt Extras.rsrc. and Extras2.rsrc files are, so now what do I do? When I put in the sudo cp (location of where I want to copy them), it says

You would use the mount command for this, but I'm not sure of the exact syntax. You'll need to know what your drive is called physically. For example, mine is /dev/disk0s2.
Or better yet, if you have another Mac I *believe* you can mount your broken Mac's filesystem remotely from your other Mac. Although, I've never done it myself. Perhaps someone else can provide the details.
