Starting Up Using Mac OS X or Windows
After you’ve installed Windows and the support software, Boot Camp makes it easy to 
start up your computer using either Mac OS X or Windows. To set the operating system 
for your computer, choose a disk with that operating system installed as your startup 
disk and then restart your computer.
Setting the Default Operating System
To set the default operating system in Mac OS X, use the Startup Disk pane of System 
Preferences in Mac OS X. To set it in Windows, use the Boot Camp control panel.
To set the default operating system in Mac OS X:
  1 In Mac OS X, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Startup Disk.
  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 set the default operating system in Windows:
  1 In Windows, click the Boot Camp icon in the system tray 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 icon in the system tray:
 
m In Windows, click the Boot Camp icon in the system tray and choose “Restart in  
Mac OS X.”
This also sets the default operating system to Mac OS X.
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 select an operating system during startup:
  1 Restart your computer and hold down the Option key until disk icons appear onscreen.
  2 Select the startup disk with the operating system you want to use, and then click the 
arrow beneath the icon.

Windows on a second disk partition or on a single-volume disk.

the disk to a single-partition Mac OS X volume.

partition:  Start up in Mac OS X and use Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder, to reformat it 
as a Mac OS X volume.
