But grub did not get updated, and after rebooting the system I still

Fedora, but my grup.conf is still the original one.

Help us by giving the last 3 entries in the Ubuntu
/boot/grub/menu.lst file. You can do this from fedora by mounting ubuntu
and in a terminal use $ sudo cat to get the file. It will tell you/us
what happened to your load. As you say, the load didn't end right.


I attach my full menu.lst. The last three entries are the Fedora
kernels that I had:


# This is a divider, added to separate the menu items below from the
Debian
# ones.

# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an

Well the Ubuntu loader had a real problem with your fedora! I think
there must be a problem with /dev/sdc5 and this is why it failed. By the
way sdc means the third hard drive on your computer. Do you have 3 hard
drives?

You can fix it by replacing the fedora system on (hd0) with one from
your Ubuntu. Then you can boot Ubuntu and fix your menu.lst so it boots
fedora and windows.
