On my system i have 2 as the delay. Once it counts down it boots the system. Are you saying yours doesn't? :confused:

Btw. imho you should always have a couple of secs in there to give you time to press f8 if needed.

umm i editted it so that it took out the time, but i wanna make it so it does wait it just loads apple without me telling it to.

What kind of a partition map do you use with your drive? I'm guessing MBR since you also have windows or linux installed. if this is the case, run fdisk and change the active disk.

they are on 2 diff hard disks, i have already set OS X as my first priority disk via bios. but it still asks me to select at startup even though OS X is the only option, will fdisk fix this?

if they are truly seperate hard drives (not just partitions) then the order to boot the hard drives you specify in the bios should take care of this. If you remove the XP drive from your computer (temporarily) does it ask you?

That is really NOT a good idea because if you ever need to boot in verbose mode or into single user mode you would have an issue.

Set it to 1 second if you really feel the need, personally I have it at 3.

Sorry if I misunderstood what you want, I admit to just skimming through. :D

so if i have it set at one second it will wait 1 sec and then auto select OS X this seems like the best thing to do from what i am hearing, thanks everyone for the help :)

I have mine set to time out after 3 seconds - long enough if I need to boot with an alternative flag.

thanks all your help has got got me the result i wanted :) my next challenge is to upgrade my AMD Hackintosh to 10.5.5 from the 5.2 it is at ATM :) im not quite sure, i tried AMD Software Updater but it couldnt connect to the server or something. so i dont know how else to go about it :)

be careful when looking to the usual places for updates for the AMD world. First... try not to get the combo updates that jump from 10.5.2 to 10.5.5. They don't work too well... they tend to freeze in the middle. Do you have the most up to date ASU? (still 0.5 as far as I know)...

Check: 1. When you run the normal Software Update, does it see all the possible updates?
2. Let the console run while you are trying to obtain the updates through ASU and report any errors.
