Why most run Microsoft, not RedHat

Possibly 9,000,000 years ago, unsurprisingly things have changed somewhat 
since.

IF it's not booting, insert CD, go to recovery console, log on, type 
"fixmbr"

For other issues:

1) reboot
2) last known good
3) safe mode (if it runs in safe mode, try rebooting, sometimes that's 
enough to fix things, sometimes not). Fix the issue there
4) insert Windows CD and let it automatically find and repair windows by 
going through the install wizard until you reach the bit where it finds 
your old copy of windows and can reinstall
5) IF it won't run or won't reinstall correctly, then and ONLY then, 
reinstall

It's easier to fix windows without reinstalling than it is to fix fedora 
;)
