Best Answer

Consider a system that would like to run both Windows 7 and two different distributions of Linux (e.g., Ubuntu, and Gentoo). Each operating system will be stored on disk. During system boot-up, a special program (boot manager) will determine which operating system to boot into.

So, rather than booting to an operating system, the boot manager will first run during system startup. The boot manager is responsible for determining which system to boot into. Often, boot managers provide the user with a selection of systems to boot into. Example boot manager is Grub, LILO which come from Linux environment.

Does driving without a gas cap effect fuel economy?

My guess is no. However it could be dangerous as gas could spill out on turns and possibly combust if it were sparked or came in contact with a hot exhaust pipe. Yes. The fuel system is operating in a positive pressure dynamic. Not having your gas cap secured, does not allow the fuel pump to fully pressurize the system, thusly NOT ALLOWING THE SYSTEM TO WORK AT DESIGNED EFFECIENCY.

How could a system be be designed to allow a choice of operating from which to boot?

You have to have either two or more hard drives and set one to MASTER and the other to SLAVE then configure them in the BIOS. Or you can have one hard drive with two or more partitions (each OS on its own partition) and configure them in your BIOS. I know that vista and windows 7 will automatically give you the choice on which one you want to boot to when the OS's are on the same hard drive. You might want to look into a virtual machine aswell, like virtualbox. They are pretty cool allowing you to run as many operating systems as you want at the same time.
