[QUOTE="Aquila, post: 1543304, member: 297128"] I just recently decided to dual boot Windows 7 alongside OS X using bootcamp (rEFIt is also installed). The installation went smoothly enough, and I've started up Windows just fine. However, I don't seem to have any of the drivers to connect to the internet or anything like that. When I try to reboot and return to OS X, the computer automatically reboots back into Windows. Holding down the option key on startup gives me a locked screen, where none of my passwords work, and none of the other startup keys have any effect at all, it just automatically goes to Windows. When I look in the Windows settings to choose a default OS to boot up into, only Windows 7 is listed. I've fiddled with ubuntu in the past, but I've never had this problem of not getting back to OS X. I have a Macbook Pro 13" running 10.7.5, I gave the Windows partition 60GB, and I do have rEFIt installed, and until now, working. Please help! [/QUOTE]
