Sorry if this has been brought up previously. I searched but couldnt find anything on this.
I have recently had failure when windows 7 tries to install security update kb3033929.
After some searching I found the information below but I'm not sure the best way to proceed. Should I unplug the OSX hard drive, install the windows update and then reattach OSX?
Thanks and I hope the info I found helps some other non geniuses like myself

Microsoft security advisory: Availability of SHA-2 code signing support for Windows 7 and
Microsoft Security Advisory 3033929 Update fails on dual boot machines
"Failure configuring Windows updates. Reverting changes. Do not turn off your computer" error
when you try to install Windows updates
Microsoft has released a security advisory for IT professionals about SHA-2 code signing
support. The security advisory announces the availability of a security update and contains
additional security-related information. To view the security advisory, go to the following
Microsoft website:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/3033929
Known issues with this security update
Issue 1
Some users cannot install this security update if their computers meet the following
conditions:
Have a multiple-boot configuration of Windows and various distributions of Linux
Use a non-Windows boot loader
Have Windows and Linux installed on separate drives
We have been able to verify that systems that have the Windows boot loader enabled as the
primary loader are successfully able to install this update and that systems that have a
non-Windows boot loader specified as the primary boot loader cannot install the update, even
if the user uses that loader to select Windows.
Issue 1 workaround
To work around that issue, you can either use Windows as the default boot loader or you can
change your BIOS settings to enable the Windows boot loader directly when you install this
update.
