hi friends!!
I had windows xp and fedora 9 in dual boot mode.Recently,I formatted my
windows XP. during this process,XP had deleted the boot loader of fedora. I
have tried to reinstall the boot loader by the installation cd in the rescue
mode but it does not work.
I also did a bit of googling and followed steps:

Inserted installation cd in rescue mode and then following commands at the
prompt:
1 grub
2 root (hd0,0)
3 setup (hd0)
4 exit
5 reboot

However even after rebooting the grub screen does not show up at startup and
Windows XP boots by default.
Now,how do i get linux started??
Or to say the least, how do i install the boot loader??
