identified by the RED Coin icon located on the Right side of the Menu Bar. Right-click on the icon

to enter RED Watchdog settings and change to mount the drive as “READ-WRITE” to allow you to

save the firmware to the SSD. Refer to REDCINE-X PRO OPERATION GUIDE for complete RED

Watchdog instructions and details.
