Googled some more. Realised /boot/grub/menu.lst *is* /etc/grub.conf... Duh! Also some people say it's better to have Windows installed to the first harddrive and the first partition (so that C: is the where it should be on 1st hd/1st partition). Would I be better off disconnecting the drive containing CentOS and reconnect it when I'm done installing Windows. Then boot with CentOS rescue and reinstall grub to the Windows-hd MBR?
