2 ) How to find in which partition it is installed eg do i have type (hd0,0) or (hd0,xx), i have on hard disk so the H.D.D number will be hd0 but what about the partition . how to find it . pls help me
If fedora live-cd is like ububtu desktop when you boot in the example files are actually linked to your own. If you look around you'll see that all of your files.
If fedora is still there and redhat has atleast a 2.6.32 kernel you'll be able to find your way to a terminal in
usr/share/applications double click on terminal it opens.
enter command
"sudo os-prober"
"sudo update-grub"
reboot
