You are not clear. In the first place one does not go pulling drives in
and out of machines. In the second place the bootloader has to be on a
drive, so put it on a third disk, one that you are not going to go
pulling in and out like a yo-yo.

In the third place, which disk bootloader you use is determined by your
bios, so why don't you go play with that instead of smashing yur
hardware about?

If you really want to pull in and out the disks on which your
bootloader is, then you will have to have two bootloaders, one on each
disk that you torture in this way.

Configure each bootloader when its disk is alone in the machine, and
make sure that disk is in the position that your bios is configured to
look for the bootloader on.
