How can I change my startup disk outside of the GUI? The operating system doesn't boot, and it still thinks it's trying to set up the windows partition.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

Restart and right as you hear the chime press and hold down the OPTION button until the boot manager appears. You can then select which volume to boot.
