So, even though I can't access the hard drive in Freecdos,
you can access the harddrive from FreeDOS
the firmware update should work?
I don't have the faintest idea if the firmware update will work, but
YES

As I mentioned earlier, Freedos requires a ATA legacy mode in BIOS, which I
don't have.
wrong.
Found this in the archives
http://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/mailman/message/26625851/
UIDE/UIDEJR can run AHCI drives on mainboards that have a legacy or
native IDE
setting for AHCI controllers, i.e. the drives can be addressed
using standard SATA/IDE I-O logic.
right. UIDE doesn't work on AHCI controllers - and isn´t required for
FreeDOS.
FreeDOS is perfectly happy without UIDE.
(UIDE might even get in the way of updating your HD firmware.)
AS SAID BEFORE
search for RUFUS (RUFUS_v1.2)
install to USB key
add your WD files
boot from USB key
your 'update HD Firmware' Software should take care about anything
else (even only to tell you 'this software requires windows')
