nura Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Am using startup disk control panel in XP to select the OSX volume for next restart. However, the tosh will always boot back into XP. I have to enter the boot manager during startup, <Option>-key, and choose manually the OSX volume. Afterwards it works fine again. First time, I thought it had been caused by renaming the XP volume from the original "NO NAME", it is lame isn't it? But after deleting the install using boot camp and creating a new one the problem is still the same. System: iMac 17", Firmeware update, Boot Camp, OSX 10.4.6, external Oxford Chip FW drive & Lacie DVD burner in chain.. Writing this am asking myself if the boot manager gets a bit confused by the presence of the external drives. Since, what I also have seen ones is that after selecting the OSX from the boot manager, the "no OS" folder icon flicked on the screen for a split sec. Anyone experiencing similar issues?

jgrimes80 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 reboot - hold the options key - select OSX then go to start-up to select your disk - I think Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14632-rebooting-from-xp-to-osx/#findComment-93707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nura Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 Thanks for taking the time to reply. Err, just wished you would have read my post thouroughly. My problem is not to figure out how to boot into OSX. I mentioned this part. Rather that the start-up-disk control panel under XP, installed by the Mac Driver disk, doesn't seem to set the boot flag to the right partition. In a nutshell; when I select the OSX volume, in the XP panel, and issue restart, I will end up booting XP again.

non sequitur Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 try booting into osx and switch bootup disk from there, and not xp. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14632-rebooting-from-xp-to-osx/#findComment-94421 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgrimes80 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 It's not setting the start-up it's changing it in from within the OS environment... In OSX, it'll switch when you select and restart But in XP, it will continue to boot in XP after restart even after changing it...

BitterSweet Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 I hadn't used it to be honest, but it doesn't work for me. Personally I just find it easier to hit restart and hold down Option, it just seems quite a bit of faff to open control panel, open the startup disk panel, change the setting etc - and that's if you remember!
