After installing Windows 7 using boot camp, how do you ensure the computer always loads with the Mac Os partition instead of the windows partition - without having to use the alt key to select the partition -
OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5), Boot Camp
sure you set which default os it boots into in the bootcamp program in both osx and windows
and how do you set the default?
in osx it's system->pref and startup disk
and click on which one you want to default boot into
in windows it's inside the bootcamp tool down beside the click in the lower right corner
it only gives option for what to restart with. when i shutdown and restart, it still goes directly to windows
odd for me then one which is marked when I start it up [startup disk] that is
is the default booting device if I click on the other one and ignore the other buttons then that one will change to be the default booting device
it used to be the default way I changed between them before I discovered that my windows keyboard which was wireless was a bit special when it came to holding down the alt [option] key
Is there a way to make sure that i always boot up with my mac partition instead of the windows part ion after using bootcamp? (without having to select the boot partition every time)
