Before there was no problem as red hat grub took care of it, but now after fedora is installed red hat portion has disappeared form the gurb ( that is of fedora now). It shows only 2 options fedora ans other(windows). So how can i get the red hat portion back into the grub. I think I'll have to edit the grub.conf but don't know exactly how????

Fedora is not good at detecting other Linux OS's and usually doesn't put an entry in menu.lst/grub.conf. Boot into Fedora, create a directory/mount point for Red Hat, mount the Red Hat partition and navigate to the Red Hat /boot/grub/menu.lst file. Copy the entry from Red Hat to the Fedora menu.lst or grub.conf.
