    Hi and Welcome !

    Boot up from any LiveCD and mount /boot partition of Fedora. Post the contents of /boot/grub/grub.conf file here.
    Post the output of ls /boot too.
    Code:
    mkdir fedora
    mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 fedora
    cat fedora/boot/grub/grub.conf
    ls fedora/boot
    Replace sda1 with /boot partition number.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    If not sure what changes you made. You can re-install grub loader
    .
    Command is :
    grub-install /dev/{partition}

    If grub.conf file has incorrect instructions, grub-install will not make any difference.
