dual boot with no current /boot partition



installed fedora on a machine with a previous win2k adv server installation

during the install the druid partitioning would not let me create a /boot ,
/, and a /swap, for some reason it would only
let me create 2 of the 3, so i never created the /boot
however, it did recognize a windows installation and i thought i answered
the questions correctly to setup a grub dual boot system
but i don't get that, it just boots fedora, no choice at all

the directions i've seen to create dual boot after the fact indicate i need
to copy the /boot partition to a fat32.
i'm guessing at this point i can run druid somehow to create the missing
partitions, but since i don't have the installed version
of the /boot with whatever should be there, is there someway to recreate it,
or some other way to create the dual boot system???
