Hello all,
This is my first post. I recently purchased my first Mac a couple of weeks ago (and am enjoying it very much). I wanted to keep windows installed, so I installed an XP partition with bootcamp. Then after getting windows squared away and running properly, I rebooted into Mac OS X and installed Parallels, and used that same bootcamp installation so that I could use Windows in Parallels, and also natively when I wanted.
All was running well, fine and dandy, until this morning. I started to restart my computer, then it asked me to update. After updating and restarting, I wanted to reboot into windows. So I restarted the computer, and held down the alt\option key, but it just booted into the MacOS instead. I did this 3 or 4 times to no avail. Then I went into System Preferences, and from there into Startup Disk. But all that was listed there was Mac OS X... i have no idea what happened. Parallels still runs this partition just fine, but for some reason I can't reboot into windows natively. Please is there anyone that can help?
