You don't 'remove' grub - you overwrite it with whatever else you're
doing. I don't understand your request - you want to be able to 'boot
each os independently' - how? Seems to me like if you want to have two
systems installed and be able to boot them both then you need either a
boot manager or else to be able to select which disk to boot from BIOS -
do you have that capability?
