error 15: file not found

Boot up from Ubuntu LiveCD and post the output of sudo fdisk -l command here.
* Its small L in fdisk -l.Code:sudo fdisk -l
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

You have separate /boot partition. Correct command is
Boot up in Rescue Mode from Fedora 11 CD/DVD and execute this at shell prompt :Code:find /grub/stage1
In case it doesn't work, execute this Ubuntu LiveCD TerminalCode:grub-install /dev/sda exit exit
Replace x and y with output of find command.Code:sudo grub find /grub/stage1 root (hdx,y) setup (hd0) quit
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
