    I fixed the problem. I booted with the rescue disc and then tried
to upgrade, but it again got stuck at the "Searching for Fedora
Installations". Then I figured it was not able to read the disk. So I
entered the command prompt and did an "e2fsck -f" on my linux
partition and that fixed the problem. Thanks for your thoughts guys.
