This is really kind of baffling. Perhaps you should try installing
grub like this:
grub> root (hd0,1)
grub> install /boot/grub/stage1 d (hd0) /boot/grub/stage2 p
/boot/grub/menu.lst
These are slightly modified from:
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-legacy-faq.en.html#q11
only in that you do not have a seperate /boot/ partition. I'm
thinking you do not need stage1.5, but I could be wrong about that.
Worth a try, though.
Also, you might look at making a grub floppy at (of course, only if
you do have a floppy drive):
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-legacy-faq.en.html#q11
You could boot to the rescue CD to create the floppy, then boot off
the floppy to boot to FC3. Maybe then you could have some more
choices as to how to correct this problem. Does your drive seem
healthy? Seems like you can boot Windows fine, but that is the only
other thing I can think of, unless stage1.5 is indeed giving you
trouble.
Also check some of the other FAQs on the GRUB page. One thing it
talked about making sure your /boot/grub/device.map was correct. Some
more info about your hardware (partitions: output of "fdisk -l") would
be really helpful.
