Hi,
I successfully installed Bootcamp and dual boot in windows and OSX in my mac mini. In the OSX i set the option to "Restart automatically after a power failure" and while i'm in OSX, if i pull the plug and put it back in, it'll power itself on.

However when I'm in windows and I pull the plug, it doesn't do it.

I did some research and noticed that i have to change the AFTER_G3 bit on the intel hardware etc..

so i figured I'd install rEFIt to let me change stuff in the EFI. But for some reason it won't work. I downloaded the DMG file. installed it on my Macintosh partiion. Then restarted the machine but it loads into windows automatically without bringin up the rEfit Menu..

any ideas on either issue?

thank you

i actually got the rEFIt working now. So now that i'm in the shell, is there a way I can tell it to ALWAYS auto power on? kind of like how in BIOS we tell it to auto power on?
