Hi,
I have a few iMac 24" (the model identifier is iMac7,1) that are running boot camp with the primary OS being Windows XP. I am looking to get these machines to boot up at a certain time and then shut down at a certain time. Booting up seems to be the problem as whenever I shut down through Windows the computer will not automatically start-up as intended. And as there is no real BIOS for me to set an automatic start-up time like a PC, I am at a loss as to what to do.
I tried looking through Google to see if I could find any answers, and I've found someone with the exact same problem from 2 years ago. But the problem has remained unsolved which leads me to worry there is no fix. (Link here=

Is there anyway short of running Mac OSX or using a PC to get these computers to start-up on a regular schedule?
