Lesse if we can get any joy here.

You can try to install GRUB either to the MBR or to the BR on
the partition you intend to use as /boot. I prefer not to
use the MBR when installing with an OS which has its own
multiboot manager. In particular, XP has a very nice boot
manager. And my machine won't permit it anyway; it wants to
start "recovery".

If you boot a recovery disc, and chroot, then you can try
to look in /sbin/grub. There is a program there which
emulates the behavior of GRUB, and which can do the install
for you. If the install of FC worked, then you should be
able to run that.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
