If I understood the question properly, I believe it was how do you 
install / configure grub (for dual booting was the specific question) 
with no previous grub.conf file and no knowledge or experience with 
grub. The question was not how to re-install grub. I am also awaiting 
the answer to this question because I also had this problem and had to 
totally re-install Fedora just because the grub.conf file got hosed and, 
as of yet, no one has answered this question.
