Ok, so I have bootcamp and Windows XP up and running on my Macbook. My problem is that whenever I turn it on, it automatically boots XP unless I hold option and pick OS X.

Does anyone know how to get it to automatically boot OS X with XP as the option?

Thanks

Assuming you've run the Boot Camp Drivers CD install, just go to the Control Panel in Windows and choose the Startup Disc one—this is installed by Apple w/ your drivers. Choose the OS X partition and hit restart. It's just like Startup Disc in the System Prefs in OS X.
