Hmmm, slightly bizarre that your drives show up as sde and sdf! Are you 
sure you plugged your SATA drive into the SATA #0 connection on your 
motherboard?

BTW, when you boot Windows, you might want to add the two directives

map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)

And don't forget to make the Windows partition Active in the partition 
table.

Boy, Fedora really adds some fugly boot flags, doesn't it?
