Hi guys,

I have Vista and OS X running my new Macbook Pro.
No problems there.
I have two questions:
How can I force boot camp to load vista as default instead of os X?
How can I make boot camp give me the options that I get by holding the option/alt key without actually holding the key?

Thank you.

1) in either windows or X, open boot camp assistant and select vista to be the default OS.

2) i don't think u can do that.

Thank you.
That worked.
It's too bad, I really like to see the two hdd pictures showing on startup so I can select which one I want.

Apple provides a 26 or so page document that goes step-by-step with your Bootcamp download. Did you print this out and try it? (or is that the complex one for you?)
