Some comments & recommendations:

     1. Inexperienced users can visit Redhat.com and download the RH9
version of the "Redhat Customization Guide"  to learn basic recovery
procedures using rescue mode.

     2. In my experience Ghost does not overwrite the MBR unless you have
copied the whole disk, done some reformatting or something else unexpected.
So once you understand how to look at your Fedora installation using the
rescue mode, you need to verify that your Fedora partitions/directories are
intact. If not you may need to do a reinstall.

     3. If they are intact you may need run "grub-install" from within your
Fedora directory structure (the one you are trying to restore) not the
rescue disk directory structure.
