How could a system be designed to allow a choice of os to boot from...?
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.
How is data read from a CD-RW?
Any kind of data are stored on surface of CD or DVD in binary code ( 0100101010101) which is lot of zeros and ones. When this data are "burned" on surface of CD or DVD laser burns holes into it. The holes represents "1" and the empty space between represents "0" . So when laser reads surface of CD it basically translating binary code into your music, film or anything else what you stored.

USB flash drive does it make computer go faster?
No, Depending on what processor you have and how much ram you have can depend how fast your computer is. also a hard drive RPM speed as well.
Edit: Windows 7 has a feature called ReadyBoost that can increase your RAM by using a USB Flash drive. It only works if your computer would benefit from its use (e.g. you are using a lot of virtual memory, and your hard drive is slower than the USB port). When ReadyBoost is operational, it will increase the speed of your computer by reducing hard drive virtual memory swapping. So the answer is actually "maybe."

How do you save a program to a USB or CD?
While you can install computer software from a CD or DVD onto the local hard disk, you cannot normally reverse this process. Installation typically is more than copying several files into several places, and it is those "other tasks" that cannot easily be reversed. You can uninstall the software through the means provided and re-install it later, provided you still have the installer and all license keys and/or serial numbers. Manually removing portions of some unwanted software by removing or deleting files from the hard disk is NOT RECOMMENDED. At best, the application in question will no longer work. At worst, other applications and components may also suffer from this move. The "other tasks" that are typically done during software installation, in addition to the copying of files and data, include the registration of various aspects of the installed software within the system. Microsoft Word, for example, registeres the .doc file extensions such that you can double-click a .doc file, and Word opens. Many other, more complex, registration steps are typically implemented by modern software.

There are many things that could cause this, but I would first try this. Since it does read at first, but then doesn't respond after some time it may be a software problem. Find out the exact model of your Drive and Manufacturer. You can usually find the model on a sticker on the back, top, or bottom of the drive. Go to their website and see if you can download new Firmware for the drive. Many times the Firmware will correct problems that exists due to driver conflicts and/or Motherboard/OS compatibility. There will be instructions on how to do this on the manufacturers website. Try this first and if it doesnt work, it may be a bad drive.

How can you format a computer to make it like it was when brand new?
A format will erase EVERYTHING, so if you have an external hard drive, backup everything in there. It will also erase your operating system as well. If you reformat, your computer won't have an OS to boot from.
If your computer is manufactured one like DELL/Compaq/HP/Gateway, your computer may have come with a system restore disk that will do the reformat for you and install everything exactly as it was when you brought it home. If it doesn't come with this disc, many times you can buy it from the manufacturer. If your computer is an Acer, there is an option using Acer eRecovery Service to restore it to the Factory Defaults. Your Acer may also have come with a recovery disk, which you can restore using using the eRecovery Service.
1. Insert your manufacturer restore disk or Operating System disk
2. When you initially turn on the computer enter the boot menu, change the boot sequence to have the CD-ROM boot first rather than the Hard Drive and follow the instructions.
You can use programs such as Active@ KillDisk found at killdisk.com These programs are available in case you don't have an Operating System disk available to you or you are throwing your hard drive away and don't want your data out there possibly in the wrong hands. Boot n Nuke is another piece of free software that can format and erase your hard drive over and over again.
1.Go to dban.org 2.Click "Download" 3.Click "for CD and DVD media" 4.Burn the downloaded file to CD/DVD with an ISO burning software like infrarecorder which is free to download at infrarecorder.org. 5.Insert the disc and reboot the machine. 6.If your PC is set to boot from the CD/DVD drive first, it should boot dban. If not press F8 or F12 then select DVD drive. 7.Your PC should load the disc and then follow the instructions on the screen. Formatting may take some time but it is well worth it because it erases data a few times to a standard where no data is recoverable.

Notepad, a few Database and other Presentation/Slide show softwares have reported being able to open these.
