Googled some more. Realised /boot/grub/menu.lst *is* /etc/grub.conf... Duh!

You want to change /boot/grub/grub.conf, nothing else !

Also some people say it's better to have Windows installed to the first harddrive and the first partition (so that C: is the where it should be on 1st hd/1st partition).

Doesn't matter.

Would I be better off disconnecting the drive containing CentOS and reconnect it when I'm done installing Windows. Then boot with CentOS rescue and reinstall grub to the Windows-hd MBR?

Why? If you want to put them on separate *hardware* then you don't have to reinstall anything. Just make sure that the CentOS drive is the first boot drive.
