missing operating system problem

[Mark A. Beaumont]

Many thanks for people's suggestions so far...

Yes - I have checked that there are no other disks causing a problem. I 
have played with the ordering of boot drives; I have run the fedora 
installation cd in rescue mode. I played with all possible permutations 
of how to set up the boot configuration, but everything gave the same 
result. The trouble is I don't really know what I'm looking for. The 
grub.conf looks like others I've seen while trawling through Google, so 
I assume it is OK.

I will have a go with the suggestion below tomorrow:-
