I believe that your problems have more to do with the windows partition, as you stated that it happened suddenly, I assume that recently, you could boot into either Fedora or Win. Think back to the last time you were in windows. Did you do any deleting of files in the C: drive? how about a bad crash? Did you edit the Grub config file? Please post your /boot/grub/menu.lst also send the results of df run from terminal (as root) and finally run fdisk -l /dev/hda will be necessary if we are going to be able to tell you how to fix this.
