Hi, Boot using FC3 disk 1. At boot prompt type "linux rescue" and press enter. Follow onscreen instructions and when you're finally dropped into a shell, type "chroot /mnt/sysimage". Then if you had installed grub, type "grub-install /dev/hda" (assuming your hdd is connected as primary master on IDE. Use instead of 'hda', hdb - primary slave, hdc - secondary master, hdd - secondary slave, sda - scsi or sata) If you had installed lilo, just type "lilo -v". Now exit the shell and when it reboots, you should see your good old bootloader.
