Triple Boot XP, Vista, FC5?

Quite likely you can get this to work without too much fuss. Boot the
FC4 rescue CD, mount your partitions, and chroot them. Then run
grub-install and you should be back where you started. Then once you
have the system back up, you can add the grub statement for the Vista
drive.
