Dan,
Thanks for looking into this.
I thought about moving my hard drives from ide2 and ide3 to ide0 and ide1, but I hesitate for two reasons:
1. The normal FC3 install went fine with the drives in their current positions and it ran some GRUB install command, so why can't I just run that again?
2. ide0 and ide1 are slower IDE interfaces, but ide2 and ide3 are ata100. Granted, it probably doesn't make much difference, but I'd like to keep the potential there.
Just my $0.02:
I would disable the MB IDE in the BIOS setup. I believe that would make your ATA100 card become ide0 and ide1. Then, jumper your hard drives as one master and one slave, put them both on ide0. Jumper your DVD drives as one master and one slave, put them both on ide1. I suspect that will make everything work just fine.
You might check things out by doing just a minimal install of FC3 onto hda. Then, I would suggest you read: http://www.geocities.com/epark/linux/grub-w2k-HOWTO.html
for instructions on how to set up your partitions so that you install and boot Windows from the first drive, and modify your boot.ini file so you can put GRUB on the other drive to boot Linux.
