You should look to put grub on the primary boot disk. If windwos is already installed, all the major distros will recognise it and provide the relevant boot option to keep it working.
Work through your install, if you encounter specific problems with it you know where we are if you need help.Linux user #126863 - see http://linuxcounter.net/

As said by Rox, obviously grub will be installed on primary bootable HDD.
In some other forum, I have heard installation of fedora 11 is wiping out Windows, please read proper installation instructions from fedora on dual-boot option. Also google for Dual Boot Windows and fedora.
Please revert back upon progress!
