Restore bootloader

Question

Restore bootloader

Hi,

I've had problems with XP installation, and now I want to restore my Sistem. With bootcamp i've restored partition (the only partition with MacOSX), but when I power on the macbook, I've to push ALT and choose Mac partition (thought it is the only one).

How can I restore leopard boot loader?

Bye

macbook, leopard, 4gb RAM, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

Welcome to the Apple boards:
Assuming that your OS X is working since you did remove the XP partition, when you reboot, hold down the Option key and you should see OS X as one of the options. Boot into it and then in the system Preferences, under Startup Disk, simply click and select OS X as the default.

From what you say, you had XP as the default boot system which is now missing and causing the boot problem.
