How to actively switch between two OS's in a dualboot partition setup?

Q. I'm dualbooting backtrack and Linux mint KDE 9. Is there a way to switch between the two partitions without having to completely reboot and go through the GRUB menu?

A. Unless you have some sort of virtual machine software you have to reboot so the operating system can have control of the hardware.

What knowledge do I need to use backtrack 5?
Q. What do I need to know on order to properly use BackTrack 5? Linux Shell Scripts? Computer Hardware? etc. Pls help thnx! :)

A. If you have used any other linux os your fine.. otherwise best way to learn how to use it is to play around with it.. have fun :)

BackTrack Linux Not Reading Files in Mounted Drive?
Q. I am running BackTrack R2. I recently bought a 1TB Western Digital Passport External Portable HDD. I copied all my stuff into it. It worked fine for 2-3 days.

Now when i connect it to my Laptop, it opens the explorer showing only one folder "System Volume Information". I checked the properties; it still shows that only 500 GB(approx) is free. In terminal, the "ls" command shows that all my files are there. I already tried CTRL-H in the explorer, so hidden files is not an issue. I connected the HDD to a Windows Box and i am able to see all my files properly.

What should i do (besides switching to Windows?? Thanking in Anticipation.
