I can't seem to figure this one out. Ony my Macbook, I installed XP SP2 with Bootcamp, but now, when I startup the computer without holding the Option key, it defaults to load XP. Is there a way to change it so that it defaults to OSX? Thanks a lot.

Yep - goto System preferences-> startup disk and select your mac partition as the startup disk.

You can also set this from windows xp, as boot camp adds a startup disk setting to your control panel there as well.
