                        Hi ! 
Please provide details of the GRUB error. 

If you are unable to boot Fedora try reinstailling the GRUB.
- boot linux with your installation disk and choose the rescue mode
- when you get the command propmt use the following command
chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub-install /dev/hda

alternate method---
You can try restoring GRUB from the GRUB prompt by running the following set of commands 
grub
grub&gt; root (hd0,1)    # Assumes your / ( or /boot ) partition is hda2
grub&gt; install (hd0,1)/boot/grub/stage1 d (hd0) (hd0,1)/boot/grub/stage2 p (hd0,1)/boot/grub/grub.conf


If you have a separate /boot partition try the following command.

grub&gt; install (hd0,1)/grub/stage1 d (hd0) (hd0,1)/grub/stage2 p (hd0,1)/grub/grub.conf
