I have used bootcamp to install the windows 7 x64 beta and I dont know how to stop it booting into windows and boot into osx - anyone help me? :)

Im sure its simple :D

Also - my drivers disk that came with my macbook didnt work with windows - is there anything I can download that will work?

Cheers!
 
Wont you boot up by holding down option to be able to select which OS you want to load up. While clicking on the OS you want to load up hold down ctrl key the same time as clicking on it.. This should make that OS the default load up

Let us know if it works
 
if you use the leopard disk and manualy start the setup process (open the cd manualu and go into bootcamp/drivers/x64 i think

it will then install the bootcamp assistant, that will be a grey diamond in the bottom right on the start bar (might have to click the little arrow there)

right click on that and select restare in OS-X
 
Did my trick did not work for you? as VaderDSL says when you hold down Option/ Alt Key and got to that boot up screen to select which OS to boot up to.. Hold down ctrl while clicking on the OS icon it should set it as the default OS to startup.. Works here

Yea found it out now mate - cheers buddy! :)

So does anyone know where I can get macbook drivers for windows 7 from? The cd that comes with the macbook doesnt work.

Cheers!
 
Just a little tip for others, you can change the startup volume by going to system preferences and selecting the startup disk menu. Select which one you would look to boot off and job done.

Doesn't always show the windows bootcamp install though, I installed Vista 32bit a long while ago and it showed there, I thne installed the 64bit version (a few times) and the Windows installation never showed in the startup disk utility, so it was useless.

I had to hold/press Alt on boot to select Windows when I wanted it.
 
Ok, everytime I leave my macbook, it automatically boots into windows.

Anyone know how to make it always boot into osx unless I keep alt pressed?

Cheers :)
 
To make it always boot in to OS X when you reboot then follow what Johnz0r says as that will work, as OS X always shows in there.
