    It is not a serious problem, but I am not sure enough of the 
procedure to competently advise you.

    The repair guy did not copy GRUB into the boot partition of the 
Windows disk.  The Windows boot sector and GRUB can co-exist.  If GRUB 
is there, it gets grabbed first.  It is transparent to Windows, so he 
didn't know it was there.

    First get back into Linux somehow.  Will your Fedora CD allow you to 
boot to drive 2?   Alternatively, perhaps Knoppix has everything you 
need.  You didn't make one of the those silly Rescue disks, did you?

    Try typing "info grub" in a terminal.  The installation instructions 
are there.  Also look in the RH manuals.  I know that SuSE includes a 
simple script to automate the installation of GRUB.  "Linux in a 
Nutshell"  4th Ed, O"Reilly, has a section on GRUB with a descent 
explanation of the procedure.

    If worst comes to worst, I can send you the procedure I wrote for 
myself the last time that happened here.  I don't know how much sense 
it will make to anyone else, but you are welcome to it.
