    If you have lost your grub by a windows install, you lost your MBR (the
    first boot sector on your harddisk). The content of your /boot partition
    is still in place.

    To reinstall the mbr you have to perform
        grub-install /dev/hda

    You should boot from the first Fedora CD in rescue mode, the program
    will found your Linux installation and mount it. It will give you some
    information how to make your installed root partition to your new root
    (chroot command). Check, that the /boot partition is mounted, too.
