Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / November 2006Bootcamp issue
Ok, I loaded botcamp; I burned the Mac drivers; I loaded WinXP Service Pac 2; I loaded the Mac drivers. Now All I can do is run Windows. How do I switch back and forth between Windows and Mac or start up in Mac, if I want? > Ok, I loaded botcamp; I burned the Mac drivers; I loaded WinXP Service > Pac 2; I loaded the Mac drivers.

Part of what you *should* have ended up with after you loaded the Mac drivers is a Startup Disk control panel in Windows. Open Control Panel from your Start menu, switch to Classic View, and you should find Startup Disk. It's a Windows variant of the familiar Mac Control Panel. (And, now that I look at it, I see that it has a button for Target Disk mode as well.) Another thing you can do is to hold down the option key when you restart the computer. This will give you a screen on which you can choose whether to start up in Windows or in OSX.

In Classic view, you get an alphabetical listing, so it's easy to find things.

I can only switch between programs by using the option key. I'm surprised. Or did I install incorrectly. > > > > Ok, I loaded botcamp; I burned the Mac drivers; I loaded WinXP Service > > > > Pac 2; I loaded the Mac drivers. Now All I can do is run Windows.

It's been long enough ago that I installed Boot Camp that I don't remember whether I did something special to get the Control Panel or whether it just showed up as part of installing the Mac Drivers.
