So... I run XP with boot camp. I go to start Leopard one day... stays at teh gray screen w. the apple logo and the little circle thing forever, and it won't start up.

Then... i pop in the leopard install disk and restore one of my Time Machine Backups.

Now, it always boots to XP, even if i press the option key. Can't boot with leopard disk. In the boot camp option thing in the XP control panel, the OSX partition isn't even shown...

please help.
