did you reinstall windows (dual boot) if so it overwrote the linux boot partition
you'll need to get fedora cd 1, boot from it, choose linux rescue,
chroot /mnt/sysimage
then cd /boot/grub
then grub
and from there, you'll need more advice as to how to install a 'lost' grub
all the info is still there, you just don't have a boot loader
heres a grub restore howto - here
hth, if not, let us know what happened, and what you did
cheers

Lost my hda parttion - tanveer - 2004-02-20
I was trying to uninstall the linux and just before the partitioning step it gave me a warning that hda will be inaccessible which I ignored and after that it automatically rebooted. And after that I didn?t show hda.
PM shows nothing about hda only show hdb and also the fdisk -l.
it shows
/dev/hdb1 * b win 98 fat32
/dev/hdb2 f extended
/dev/hdb5 b
/dev/hdb6 b
/dev/hdb7 b
/dev/hdb8 b
