Sure it's there!

No need for that, it's just a default successful installation.

I took the stage1 and stage2 files and put them in the /boot/grub
directory for nothing happened.
Seems like the hard disk (at least this partition) had a problem. The
reason I say that, is because when I list the partitions (fdisk -l) it
shows me the partition as Fat16 and not ext3.
I started the PC from the fedora CDs and went through the setup process
until I got to the partitioning part. There, I can see that the
partition is an ext3 and not fat16!!
Really don't know what to say or do.
I guess I'll just wait for the next release.
