Hi all,
I am trying to change the write permissions on my dbox for the keys so I can FTP the new ROM's but everytime I try and change the 'execute' from red to green in the box I get a message saying "UNKNOWN ERROR 256" everytime I press OK and it wont let me change it.
I have tried changing the rights on other permissions which are red on the execute option and I get the same error message as soon as I press OK.
Any help to solve this prob would be gratefully appreciated before it drives me mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Roms dont need Permissions changed
Will run ok as they are
Just Copy the Full working Ke*s Folder across................Paul

Hi Paul, Thanks for your info.
The reason I thought they needed permission is that when I try and transfer the files over and then click 'overwrite' it comes up 'Transfer Failed'.
I have done it on another 2 boxes no with no problems at all so I don't know where it's going wrong.

Delete the whole keys folder if you have a working one ready to transfer back.......otherwise, do as Paul says, reflash and start over.
