Boot problem W2k/FC4 -

I have installed Windows 2000/NTFS on /dev/hda and FC4 on /dev/hdb but 
Grub is never displayed, Windows is booted immediately.  I've tried 
installing grub in boot and mbr as offered in the installation routine 
with the same result.

I have a CDROM with some utilities on it that permit me to boot the 
computer with some basic Linux functions; I see that fdisk shows both 
drives toggled to "boot."  If I toggle the boot designation off on 
/dev/hda FC4 [dev/hdb] displays GRUB on the screen and stops ...

I've installed Windows and Fedora a number of times without encountering 
problems but now I've hit the wall!  I don't understand the grub boot 
process well enough to troubleshoot this.  I know I've seen similar 
questions asked but searching has been fruitless?

Any help appreciated.
