Try commenting out this splashimage line, which is trying to load an
image from your second drive.

You might want to comment out the hiddenmenu line too if you'd like to
see the grub menu without pressing any keys.

All of the above load a kernel and initrd from the second drive, but
shouldn't be a problem if you're not trying to boot Fedora.
