You can nail or screw from top down on the loose board, but try crew from bottom up if you can access the area. Bottom up screwing method doesn't mark the surface and doesn't require fill/s.
I got a nice old farmhouse about 10 years ago. we tore up the carpet and found really nice hardwood under it. i hired someone to come out and sand/finish it. it looked really nice. I never understood why people cover up a nice hardwood floor.
Before modern chemical coatings maintaing a hardwood floor was hard work. To keep the floor in good shape you were required to oil it twice a year (or every 2 years?). In the 60's when carpets became cheap a lot of people chose to cover the floors to avoid the maintenence on the hardwood.
