As for your problem..
Did you create a boot partition?

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.
