No, it doesn't work this way.
The Fedora install will put grub on the MBR and whichever partition
/boot is on. This is normal, and the way it usually works.
Grub has the capability to read ext2, reiser, JFS, FAT, and other
filesystems, but NTFS isn't on the list. That means that you couldn't
put the rest of the grub files on NTFS.
But you shouldn't need that, anyway. It should just work.
Hope this helps,
James.
