This is an odd problem that just started to show up. I have windows xp installed and whenever I try to select to boot from a CD or USB in the boot menu, my mac will boot from the windows partition instead. Can someone help me solve this problem?
Got a tip for us?

Probably not going to fix it, but worth a shot.

I had this problem until I realized that I had to click "Apply" in the Windows BootCamp Control Panel after selecting the OS X folder to make it stick. I'm not used to having to click "Apply" because with OS X there are no Apply buttons; things just stick after you select them. Hope your problem is as simple as that!
