thank you for the helpful answers, I would however like to re-word the
question, Is it possible to switch OR's, without rebooting and is it
possible to hide the fact that there are 2 OR's installed?--

No. The only way it is possible to use two operating systems without
rebooting - or without using a removal hot-swappable hard drive - is to
run a virtual machine in a program like VMWare or VirtualPC.

If you use a conventional boot manager, there is no way to hide the
various operating systems installed from the user. And obviously the
user would notice a hot-swappable drive arrangement.

What are you trying to accomplish?
