thegoodcaptain Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Boot camp claims when you restart your computer it should always reboot the OS you last used. My MBP however with bootcamp and XP will always boot XP unless I hold the option key and specify OSX at startup. For example: if I am using OSX and I hit restart it will shut down OSX and then load windows. If I am using XP and hit restart, it will restart windows. Anyone else having this issue or know a solution?

rollcage Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 In OSX, try going into System Preferences > Startup Disk > Choose your OSX install and restart. Hopefully that should work. You should probably open Disk Utility and repair disk permissions first. I've had this problem off and on and this solution has worked for me every time.

Colonel Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Good thing you read the ReadMe.rtf that was included inside the Boot Camp dmg. Also, it's great to see that you read the part of the readme that tells you to change the startup disk to boot back to OS X. /sarcasm Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/47513-mbp-always-boots-xp-unless-i-specify-osx-at-startup/#findComment-340222 Share on other sites More sharing options...
