Welcome to the forum mtech84

Post all your Open source queries here

As for your problem..
Did you create a boot partition?
Where did you install the Boot loader?

Post more details about these.

Moved to Open Source

Boot with Fedora 1st CD or DVD :

Code:

type @ boot:
linux rescue
mount the partn.
chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub-install /dev/hda for IDE hdd OR
grub-install /dev/sda for SATA hdd
exit
exit
reboot

thats it.Now grub will be restored..

Also, you won't be able to see linux partition in windows without using 3rd party tools, that is why you cannot see your f drive which contains linux installation.
