Some info you might find useful in your migration efforts: 

I'm running somewhat similarly, where /dev/sda1 is /boot, sda2 is my
swap partition, and sda3 is / (250GB SATA drive, non-raid), and /dev/hda
is split equally between Win32 on /dev/hda1 and /home on /dev/hda2 (20GB
drive) 

my /boot/grub/grub.conf:

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this
file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda3
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda

I swapped the two fedora kernels as the first one fails miserably with
the SATA drive. Can't even boot. However, you may be interested, I
thought, in seeing how I got the dual-booting windows part working when
it's not the first partition on the primary drive. The above works
beautifully.
