i also tended to install first M$, then FC, until i got the Rescue-CD.

If i have to reinstall Windoze, i reinstall the MBR afterwards easily. 
Boot the cd, afterwards do as indicated 'chroot /mnt/sysimage' which 
mounts the root-partition from disk as real / and then just do 
'grub-install /dev/hdx' where x is your drive, where your mbr should be 
placed, so usually /dev/hda. Reboot and jump, because you got back your 
FC3-install :-)
