bootcamp problem : Windows load default instead of OS X

[greengeorge]

i have a C2D 2.33 MBP, i ran bootcamp, installed xp professional SP2 , with 8gb of fat32 partition, went smooth

only problem now is everytime i restart the machine it loads XP by default instead of OS X, do i have to press alt everytime i boot up? thats pretty annoying... at first i thought it only happens if i restart from XP, but then i restarted from OS X, it loaded XP... shut down the machine completely and turned it on again... still XP...

this is really buggin me, can anyone help? is there a setting im missing?

Use "Startup Disk" in either Windows XP or OS-X to set the startup volume to your OS-X partition. Using the "option" key on startup temporarily sets the startup. The default will remain whichever is last set in "Startup Disk".

edit: "Startup Disk" is in System Preferences in OS-X, and is (if I remember correctly) Control Panel in XP.
