You will have to boot with FC Medium, and boot into the Rescue Enviroment.
There you'll have to setup GRUB.
So you'll need to know with
Code:
fdisk -l
how your hdd is setup.
Then you'll have to reinstall/or install grub into the MBR of you 1st HDD where I guess Windooze is
installed. After you've done that you will have the GRUB Bootloader that will give you the choice of which OS can boot.
