Since your installations are on two physically separated drives, you will have to manually go into the BIOS to alternate the boot device priority whenever you want to switch between the two OS' that you have installed.... sorry!

Have you thought about using two caddies.
Find it works OK for me.
Just insert whatever caddy has the OS you need to use. Make sure the caddies are 'Good Quality'.
As an aside I have twelve caddies all used at various times, no problems.
