Afaik that is the entry used for booting Windows. Try booting into
CentOS and in /boot/grub/ edit grub.conf so the FC7T2 entry looks
something like this (but with your partition, LABEL and kernel
numbers!!!):
title Fedora (2.6.20-1.2982.fc7)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.20-1.2982.fc7 ro root=LABEL=/fc7 vga=795 norhgb noquiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.20-1.2982.fc7.img
Make sure you fix the "root (hd0,1)" line so it reflects your
partitioning setup. The "0" represents the disknumber and the "1"
represents the partition number. Iirc it starts counting at 0. Check
with fdisk -l. Also make sure you put in the right kernel + initrd
version. And finally make sure you have the correct LABEL set. Check it
with e.g. e2label /dev/hda<number>
Good luck.
