    one of several grub recovery methods that might work...

    You might try recovering GRUB with the SuperGRUB LiveCD if you haven't done so already:

    Hope it works for you.

    Try EasyBCD to get back into Fedora

    If you can find EasyBCD Beta 2.0(free), you may be able to get into Fedora by doing that. It will use the Windows Bootloader to get into windows and Fedora. Install it on windows and you can add Fedora to the Windows Bootloader. Just choose the drive that Fedora bootloader is intalled on. Check the box that says grub is not installed (it sounds weird but that's how it works. I had grub installed but I had to check the box that it wasn't.) You can edit the bootloader to look the way you want and which system is default. Anyway, when you select Fedora from the boot menu then it goes into grub and loads fedora. Hope this helps, I'm fairly new to Linux but I had many problems loading Fedora with Vista/7 before I found EasyBCD. Just make sure that it's at least version 2.0 beta or it won't work with 7. I found it on rapid share. Good Luck
