Hello, I installed F19 on my HP envy dv7 notebook with windows 8, the pc has 1GB HD and 12 GB of memory, on reboot windows 8 came up but no sign of F19. Is there way to install the boot loader without me try to reinstall again? Should F19 work with win 8? Thank you.

Boot from Live CD and see what happened. Here [1] you'll find instructions about installing GRUB manually.

I had installed F19 to dual boot with Windows 8 on a friend's laptop, and so I can verify that it works. However, if you are using 'UEFI' booting with 'Secure Boot' option enabled, I remember that there were issues with booting into Windows 8 using grub2. When 'Secure Boot' option is disabled, dual boot worked as well.
But I did this around the time Fedora 19 was released. I am not aware about the current status, as I don't do Windows. ;-)
