Hey Frank
You will need to re-install grub. Boot from your install disk-1 or
the rescue CD, enter "linux rescue" at the prompt. Then follow the
directions on-screen to get to the prompt and enter the chroot command
as the screen shows. now do a "grub-install /dev/hda". exit the rescue
mode (removing the CD as you do) you should boot into your FC. You may
need to take a look at your /etc/fstab to ensure that it was
re-configured and that all of your partitions are mountable.
