Dual boot problem

Installed, but will not boot, instead get GRUB screen with choice of commands. Trying to get system to boot from second hard drive where it is installed. First hard drive contains WindowsXP. Used to dual boot from first drive but decided to move linux off and install on second. Trying linux rescue gets message no kernel packages were installed on your system - boot loader configuration will not be changed. Installed off Fedora 6-i386-DVD and cleared with SHA1SUM. Really puzzled, any help appreciated. Basically, how do I get boot loader to boot off MBR on hda1 (fails with aforementioned message) - or what else?
