Can I Default to "Startup Disk Screen" on bootup?

[DrDoug]

Hi there

I have iMac running snow-leopard. Have a partition with MacOS and another with Win 7 via Bootcamp.

I am getting annoyed at having to press the option key at startup, to choose the system to boot (often get distracted and press OPTION too late!).

I wondered if I could default so that the STARTUP DISK CHOOSE screen comes up every time?

thanks
Doug

You have two options I am aware of.

Install rEFIt, http://refit.sf.net a third party bootloader that give you more customization ability.

Leave the deafult at OS X and use BootChamp http://www.kainjow.com/ to boot windows when you want to.
