    Default Cydia/BlackRa1n Question.

    Hello very wise ipod-jailbreaking people,

    I have 1 quick or not so quick question...

    1. I am following the guide on Saurik's site (Bypassing the overload)
    Code:
    http://www.saurik.com/id/12
    and every time I try to edit the Hosts file, I get a message saying
    Code:
    Access to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts has been denied
    I am am admin on my computer and every different way I try, I still get that message.... Advice?


    Thanks!

    Right click to open notepad, select "Run as Administrator", copy/paste from the hosts file to the notepad you had opened as "Administrator", then save the file in CWindows\System32\drivers\etc Go ahead and name it "hosts" (Without the quotes of course" it'll ask if you want to over write, click yes, and you're all done. This should work perfectly, I know it did for me anyway.
