Question please verify my grub menu.lst file

i don't want to edit this then not be able to boot because i screwed it up...

i have 2 drives, one Prim. master with winXP, one Sec. master with FC6. Grub is located on the Sec. master MBR. i have edited grub's menu.lst file so i don't have to manually change via bios which drive will boot. I want grub to manage the booting. Please just verify that it is correct and i haven't done anything wrong.

thanks!

here it is:

Code:
# 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/VolGroup00/LogVol00
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hdc
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.6.18-1.2798.fc6)
	root (hd0,0)
	map (hd1) (hd0)
	map (hd0), (hd1)
	kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
	initrd /initrd-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.img
title Other
	rootnoverify (hd1,0)
	chainloader +1
