On Dell optiplex-330 i have installed winXP sp3 on sata-0 and on sata-1 I had installed Fedora 13 - Even though grub installed - unable to boot Fedora 13. i have installed Ubuntu 10-04 easily installed within windows itself using wubi.exe. Till today I am able to boot winXP as well as ubuntu but unable to boot Fedora13 In bios if I set sata-1 as first drive Fedora-13 will boot otherwise no. since mosf of my work on winxP I am not position to use Fedora13 even though installed. Everytime when started computer grub display Err 22 - press any key... then to windows/ubuntu for selection.
Now I repenting for having installed Fedora13. Now I am afraid to install next versions of Fedora14 and decided to not experiment because I have re-installed Fedora13 atleast 5 or 6 times resulting hard disk may damage. DELL technical people are not co-operative to solve the problem of bios and help to set right the bios so that user can choose any of harddisk using boot sequence - instead of meddling with the hardware setup.

OK, please give us some info about which disk did you install the grub booter on?
If you installed it on sata-1 and NOT on sata-0, then the only way for you to boot Fedora is if you have a bios boot disk selection menu. At power-up, there has to be a Function key to press that will tell bios to pop up a boot menu.
Does you bios have such a menu?
