When ubuntu fails and fedora dwells unbooten


Hy I've got a problem...

Namely, i was so stupid that i installed windows 2k after i did the FC4 installation and now i can not boot it anymore. Usually when i was so stupid all I had to do was inserting FC4 DVD, type rescue, enter grub's shell, type

grub> setup (hd0)
grub> root (hd0,0) and that

and that did pretty well the job, grub had lived again!

Well now i'm in a pretty awkward situation where I don't have my FC4 DVD anymore, don't have any FC DVDs\CDs anymore just one UBUNTU live and installation disk. Well i've tried to reinstall GRUB from UBUNTU but all i got was a message with the following content : device not found or disk not found when i typed the following

grub> setup (hd0)
grub> root (hd0,0)

The same happened when i tried to change the numbers, nothing had changed. I've also tried to install grub somehow with Ubuntu installation, that failed to...

so if anyone has any idea please do tell me I would be greatful, very greatful...
