Jim,

More important than the drives will be the order you install Windows and
Fedora. Cut to the chase: install Windows first. It will probably want
to install itself on the /dev/sda1 partition. This is not a problem for
Fedora 12. Just be sure you tell the Fedora installer to install it
on /dev/sdbX -- it will probably want to make two partitions on /dev/sdb
for /boot and LVM -- and to install GRUB on /dev/sda.

Then edit /etc/grub.conf to uncomment the #hiddenmenu line and set the
timeout to 5 seconds or so.
