Once you're in OS X, go to System Preferences and open the "Startup Disk" prefpane. Just select your Mac OS X volume and you're done. It will now boot by default into OS X.
AS well as the above go into XP, go to Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance and click the Boot Camp Icon. Set the startup disk there to OS X as well.
Cool thanks but i get to this part and all there is only? 1 that says netwotk startup?
Just wait a second, your Mac has to look at the different disks in your system and figure out what's on them. Other volumes should appear. You might also need to unlock the pane by clicking the padlock icon in the lower left, if it's locked (and enter your user password).
At minimum it should show the OS X installation you're currently booted into as a folder with an X on it. Are you an admin-level user on your machine?
