Try the above commands to get Windows to boot from the GRUB command
prompt. Those assume that Windows is installed as normal on the first
partition of the first BIOS drive. If that doesn't work, try tweaking
the (hd0,0). GRUB supports tab completion and will show you what your
options should be. You deleted your Fedora partition which had the
grub.conf on it which told GRUB where your OSes where installed.

Knowing a little about GRUB comes in handy at times:
