If I load two OSs on my system, how do I change from one to the other?

It is usually done through a bootloader utility that runs before either of the OS's starts - I recall Lilo and Grub for Linux/Windows dual boots.

Research dual boot options thoroughly before you add a second OS or you will hose your entire HD.

If you're talking two Windows OS then you'll get the option at boot up.

I've got two hard drives, with Win XP Pro on one, and Win '98SE on the other.
Drive C: Win XP Pro.
Drive D: Win '98 SE
I select the desired hard drive during the boot-up sequence in DOS, by pressing "Delete" at the start of boot-up.

Cheers all...!
