Windows can be installed on the drive...it just cannot be running as the boot drive when you update it. You have two options:

1. Install the drive as a secondary drive (on another machine usually). Basically just need to hook it up to another machine and boot up. Then run the OCZ toolbox and select that drive. http://ocz.com/consumer/download/firmware/ocz_toolbox_firmware_update_guide_windows.pdf

2. Use the OCZ Toolbox bootable version.
