Bootcamp- Default Operating system?

condra · 2007-06-30 01:40:01

Hi. My friend installed bootcamp recently, and when he starts up it goes to Windows, unless he holds ALT and chooses OSX. Is there a way of making OSX the default OS? Im thinking of installing Vista on a partition, but I couldnt live with having to hold down alt every time I start up my macbook. Thanks in advance for any…

He needs to go into... System Preferences > Startup Disk... and select his OSX drive.
