Turn the computer on. As soon as you see the gray screen, hold the option key.

Click to expand...

As soon as you hear the startup sound, hold down the option key. Two HD's will then pop up, and you can use the arrow keys to select which one you want (I assume in your case you want the OSX partition). Select it, then press enter.
