Well, you have two posible options:

1) With a LiveCD for example, boot in console form and you can use Grub to rewritte the MBR

Code:

grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/hda

Or with Lilo

Code:

chroot /mnt/hd /sbin/lilo -v -v

2) With a rescue disk of win using

Code:

FDISK /fixmbr

Bye.....

Umm---OP has a Linux system (FC4)---Putting in a Windows disk and doing "fixmbr" is not going to be a happy story...
