Get familiar with lab environment







IMac machines in the lab are dual boots. They have both Windows XP sp3 and Mac
OS (snow leopard 10.6.1) installed on them.
How to boot machine in each Operating System:
Selecting an Operating System During Startup

You can select which operating system to use during startup by holding down the
Option key. This displays icons for all available startup disks, and lets you override
the default setting for the startup disk in Startup Disk preferences (Mac OS X) or the
Boot Camp control panel (Windows) without changing that setting.

To set the default operating system in Windows:

1. In Windows, click the Boot Camp system tray item and choose Boot Camp
Control Panel
2. Select the startup disk with the operating system you want to use by default.
3. If you want to start up that operating system now, click Restart.

To restart in Mac OS X using the Boot Camp system tray item:

 • In Windows, choose “Restart in Mac OS X” from the Boot Camp system tray
item.
• Restarting in Mac OS X using the Boot Camp system tray item also sets the
default operating system to Mac OS X.

To set the default operating system in Mac OS X:

1. In Mac OS X, choose Apple > System Preferences.

2. Click Startup Disk
3. Select the startup disk with the operating system you want to use by default.
4. If you want to start up that operating system now, click Restart.
