Seemingly Serious Problem Updating to MS2 v2.0.6 in Melco N1Z/1 [SOLVED!]

[GreenMtnGringo]

Hi Simon and thanks for the response. Okay, I performed your suggested steps #s 1 to 3.

First, I copied to my MacBook Pro desktop all but three files in the Melco's MinimServer subfolder. I took a screenshot of the names of the three files I could not copy due to a lack of "permission." That screenshot is attached.

At this point, I pulled the AC power cord from the back of the Melco. It powered off immediately. I let it sit for a few minutes, reattached the power cord and powered up the Melco with the front panel power button as normal.

Next, I ran the Internal Drive Check. The first message on the Melco display stated:

Old format. It's OK to use but
'backup, re-format and restore'
will be better.

I then clicked OK and ran the Drive Check. The only message at the end stated: "Finished." The Melco then rebooted and all seems normal now (whew!).

I have not yet re-attempted the v2.0.6 installation. Based on last night's experience, I may wait for further word from you, other Melco MS2 users to check in, and/or for the release of v2.0.7.

As far as the contents of the MinimServer subfolder are concerned, as a quick sample here is the text in the minimserver-out.log file:
