Safest way is to not slave one off the other, keep them separate. Use
a switch of some sort to boot up the one you want. There are several
switches on the market designed for this. The one I like fits into a
floppy drive slot and simply has a key switch in it.

I would install the drives as removable drives using a front tray kit. When
you want to change operating systems, you just simply shut down the machine,
and pull out the drive from the front slot, and put in the other one. Then
you restart the machine, and it will work under the operating system that
has been installed on that drive.

The front tray kit and the accessories is not expensive.
