max_scsi_luns=8

"max_scsi_luns=8" is a (long time) deprecated instruction. See "modinfo
scsi_mod" and use in /etc/modprobe.conf:
options scsi_mod max_luns=8

Boot the computer from Windows® CD into the rescue console like
instructed on

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/win_xp_rec.htm

and then run "fixboot". Caution: if you run "fixmbr" the MBR will be
overridden and you loose grub. If you do that and you want to get grub
back you will have to boot with the Fedora CD1 with "rescue" and then to
run "grub-install /dev/hda". If you think to better switch to boot with
the Windows® bootloader and to let that one start Fedora, then follow:
