F12 GRUB after W7 Install

[JoccE]

I installed windows 7 after i installed fedora so now i can't access my fedora OS.

I've tried all the guides i found on the internet but fedora 10/11 guides doesn't seem to work for 12.

So, how do i fix this problem?

Reinstall grub using the Fedora install DVD and rescue mode.

There is no "Rescue mode" when i boot with cd :S i've tried that.

There is only like:
Boot
Boot & Verify
Memory test
and one more i don't remember the name of

Hi!

Boot from live Fedora 12 CD/DVD as as live user go to terminal and execute the following:

 # grub
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
 (hd0,4) 
 (hd0,7)
 (hd0,8)

grub> root (hd0,7)  This is where I want my grub to be installed. Your numbers probably are going to be different

grub> setup (hd0)
 Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
 Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
 Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
 Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"...  19 sectors are embedded.
succeeded
 Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+19 p (hd0,7)/boot/grub/stage2
/boot/grub/menu.lst"... succeeded
Done.

grub> quit
reboot

You might want to give it a try. Best of luck!

Yeah there is. The third one listed is "Rescue Installed System". This is on the install CD, #1, not the Live CD.
