As I use Bootcamp and Windows Vista from my Macbook Pro and switch between the OS more often, I had a hard time in trying to select the OS which needs to be booted. For example, during reboot/fresh start I need to hold down the option key during the initial time and then I used to select the partition to which I needed to boot. At times this is frustrating as by default it used to boot to Mac OS X if you forgot to press the options key and select the OS to be booted.
Other day I found a solution for this by using rEFIt, a Mac Boot menu. Which allowed me to make this boot menu enabled automatically every time it boots; and good thing is it defaults to the last OS that you booted and it has customized icons which also distinguishes the underlying operating system. |
Have you thought about using Parallels or Fusion? I am also looking into a similar setup. From what I understand the aforementioned products allow you to switch back and forth between OS X and Windows without rebooting.
Well, I use them … if you look into my earlier blog posts, you will know. This is native boot, so that I can take advantage of performance + full 2G RAM
