If you did not do anything to your Linux (Fedora) patitions, you could 
simply boot with the first cd or rescue disk (if the first  disk is 
used, you will need to boot with boot: linux rescue). Let the rescue 
process identify your installation and mount it, then simply chroot 
/mnt/sysimage and run grub-install /dev/hda. So if you had a previous 
Windows entry in Grub, you will still be able to boot into Windows using 
Grub (which I find it easier to deal with than the Windows bootloader).
