Avery quick Bootcamp Q..

[fraggle101]

i have Bootcamp installed, now, its running fine but untill recently when i reboot it boots back into the operating system that it was just in, also the eject button om my keyboard wouldnt work in Windows (Which i thought was normal)

Now though, the eject button works normaly in Windows and when i reboot it always boots into Mac..

Any ideas why??

I think these are things that are set up in the bootcamp software on the Mac partition (or maybe also the Bootcamp program that runs in the task bar in Windows).

I can imagine that the bootcamp program that you install after you have set up Windows makes the eject button work, it certainly made the volume buttons work on mine,

I booted into bootcamp last night for the first time in ages, just to update Windows and the virus definitions, hardly used it...

i spend most of my time in windows.. so id likee it to open in the last mode used, i'll have another check in the program but the last time i looked i couldnt find anything that would alter it..

Oh, and iv just noticed that the volume buttons work here too!! lol.. they didnt before..

I think you have to choose one or the other.

I've just checked from the OS X side (can't be bothered to boot into XP at the moment) and you can select start up disk to be OSX or Windows in the Startup Disk panel of System preferences...

Right, i'll check that after dinner.. i was hoping there was an option to boot from the last used.. lol.. thanks for looking.
