Preferences > Startup Disk.

or you could just stick the USB in and reboot.... @chime hold the <option> key down. a list of bootable drives will magically appear ( it's slow tho) so you can choose.

then again, Diskwarrior would prolly fix it without a reinstall..
old windows habits die hard I guess.
