i have a mac pro that has boot camp xp, boot camp win 7 and snow leopard on three different drives. on the snow leopard volume i have an installation of paralells 7 with a version of windows 7 in a virtual machine. i /think/ at one point the guys at parallels wired PARALLELS to boot into the boot camp volume of xp and then we took this off, but i can't recall exactly. anyway, i have finally found the time to get into XP boot and win 7 boot and tidy things up and i am finding that: 1. i cannot boot directly into the various volumes after holding down the Option Key and instead have to /select/ the volume i want to boot to and then i have to /restart/ to get to that volume. 2. after booting into XP, if i leave the machine running on this OS, i will come back a number of hours later and it will be booted into the Snow Leopard OS which is on a totally different hard drive. any ideas on what to do here or what is going on? can this be escalated to advanced tech who made the original decision to boot directly to the boot camp version of XP (if this is an problem that parallels this decision)? TIA
