Can Windows 7 be installed on sdb1 or does it need to be on sda1 I'm not

Jim,

More important than the drives will be the order you install Windows and Fedora. Cut to the chase: install Windows first. It will probably want to install itself on the /dev/sda1 partition. This is not a problem for Fedora 12. Just be sure you tell the Fedora installer to install it on /dev/sdbX -- it will probably want to make two partitions on /dev/sdb for /boot and LVM -- and to install GRUB on /dev/sda.

Then edit /etc/grub.conf to uncomment the #hiddenmenu line and set the timeout to 5 seconds or so.
