    Hi, I recently installed Windows XP with boot camp and everything works fine, but when I startup my computer and hold option at the right time, only mac is available to select and not XP. Right now, the only way I can restart in XP is if I go to Startup Disk in System Preferences and choose to restart in Windows. How can I fix this? Thanks

    I also have had that problem often in the past and I think I held down
    the "ON" button too long.
    This AM when I tried it---I hit the "ON" then I hit the "alt" and it went
    right where it should.
    That was the first time ever

    Hope this works for you
