Hi all

I just received my Mac Pro yesterday and I set it up having a hard drive for Mac OS X and an SSD for Windows 7 x64. It was working just fine with an Apple wireless keyboard and Magic mouse.

Today for some reason or another the boot camp drive (SSD) is not showing up under preferences -> select start up disc. I am able to view the contents of drive in finder but not able to boot from it. Also when I reboot and press the option key I do not get an option to select the Windows OS.

I tried to reset PRAM with the wireless keyboard but it did not reset the PRAM. Finally I managed to reset the PRAM with the wired keyboardit shipped with. After I reset the PRAM I was able to select the Windows OS by pressing the option key. However it worked only once.

I managed to lock it into Windows but now I can not boot to Mac OS X by pressing the option key. However unlike Mac OS X I can boot to Mac OS X through Windows Boot Camp preferances.

Any one else has this problem? Do you of any fix or else what is causing this problem?

Thanks in advance
