I see a couple factors here.
1. RedHat uses a heavily patched grub, so the grub on FC4 is quite
different than the
stock grub installed on LFS. Check out the patches and spec file here:
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/grub/
2. The chances that Ghost 8.0 was robustly tested against grub is not
high, IMO. I would
guess that it was tested against a RedHat system and maybe one or
two other major
distros.
I would guess that if you rebuilt grub closer to RedHat's version, you
might have more success. When I was using FC3, I noticed that the
message at boot time said something like "GRUB..Loading Stage 2"
instead of the "Loading Stage 1...Loading Stage 1.5" that I get now
with stock GRUB.
There are other solutions for this problem that don't depend on
Windows native software. Here's a webpage I found Googling for "linux
clone partition":
