Hey, I have a little issue with bootcamp on my MBP. Maybe it is just supposed to work like this I'm not sure. Whenever I start the computer it automatically boots into XP not OSX. In order to get into OSX I have to hold down alt each and every time I boot up or even restart the notebook. This brings to the screen where I can choose between XP and OSX.
Anyway its kind annoying having to hold alt each time, anyone have any ideas?

I don't have experience with booting on mac computers, but I think it's because you have installed windows on your first primary active partition. On windows computers, that would be your problem but I think on your mac too.

This thread seems to have an answer for you - some third party app some guy made that makes it boot up the way you want it.

1) In OSX, open "System Preferences".
2) Click on the "Startup Disk" preference pane in the "system" subcategory
3) Click on the Mac OSX 10.4.7 folder.
Now whenever you start up your computer it will automatically boot OSX. To make it automatically boot to Windows during start up you follow the same procedure, but select the "Windows XP" folder instead of OSX in step 3.
Hope that helps,
