Hi jwdd, welcome to NeoSmart Technologies.

1) For XP you'll need to make sure you have NTLDR and NTDETECT on the boot drive and that your boot.ini is properly configured. Full instructions on both can be found at http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Windows+XP
2) For OS X: try pounding the F8 or arrow keys or spacebar or esc during those 30 secs...

Yeah, that's from an earlier version of EasyBCD...

Can you try pressing a "function" key like Esc, Del, Enter, Space, or an arrow key during those 30 seconds?
