I do not see the menu presented.  I don't seem to be able to get into
windows 7 at all.  So the question becomes, how to access the menu and
get windows 7 to boot.  I have included the information on grub.conf and
menu.lst to show what I have done.  I am sure it is wrong, but I am not
seeing it.

I understand you are able to load fedora, and you want to see the grub menu.

In that case you can press shift during the first stage of loading the computer or

change the line in grub.cfg  to: 

timeout=10 

however I think you have to change the  windows part of grub.cfg to:

 

title Windows
roonoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
