Default OS...How to change!

[Shady899]

Ok, So...
I just got windows on my MacBook okay?
I ran it, it works nice, I love it.
Got VMware Fusion...Love it!
But when I start up my Mac...guess what it does.
GOES TO WINDOWS!
I want it to start in Mac again, I dont wanna press "alt/option" all the time...
Thanks, Luc.

You guys are always helpful.

I think you have to do one of the following:

- Open the Bootcamp assistant / utility / preference tool (in OS X) and set the default boot partition to OS X

- Open Bootcamp Utility (in Windows) and set the default partition to OS X.

Then it should boot to OS X automatically and you can use the option key to get to Windows.

You can also just hold down the [Option] key on start up to choose one or the other. Of course with this you would have to do this each time you restart.

what the above poster said mite work, but this also works for sure:

1. go to system preferences in mac os
2. click start up disk
3. select macintosh hd (or w/e ur mac partition is called)

You can also do the change on the Windows side as well by going into the BootCamp Tools. Should be in Control Panel.

Just hold down alt while booting, then hold down Shift while you select Mac OS. Then it'll become the default.
