Holding down Option key doesn't let me choose?

[shadowmoses]

QUick thread I have bootcamp and XP installed on my MB fine, thing is everytime I want to change which OS i boot from I have to do it through the start up disk Pane in either OS X or Windows XP...

This is becuase Holding down the Apple (option) key on startup doesnt allow me to choose the disk...

What gives am I doing somehting wrong???

Thanks

i'm sure there was a way to select the os with the apple remote as well ?

hold it here it is ....


Optional alt. At startup, hold down the option key (alt) to choose between Mac OS X and Windows.

You can actually do it in Startup disk in System Preferences.

You don't need boot camp to boot windows, you just need the latest firmware.

Because it's ALT you hold down not the apple key

Maybe a uk keyboard thing for us

but a little pointless without all the drivers boot camp provides, is it not?
