my /boot/grub/menu is here (actually it is of the guy I am trying to 
help, I hope he will join the list ASAP ;-) )

here is the ouput of df command 

Filesystem        blocchi di   1K   Usati Disponib. Uso% Montato su
/dev/hdb2             14152372   2977916  10455548  23% /
/dev/hdb1               101086     12533     83334  14% /boot
none                    127504         0    127504   0% /dev/shm

Fdisk will follow as he didn't find the command and it was too late last night.........anyway he doesn't remember any deletion of files or bad crash....
Yes, he could boot both Fedora and Windows.

Tnx
