I did that, but I did a mistake :-(

I've install Win XP on the first HD, then FC3 on the second HD, but when I 
replied to install the bootloader, instead of putting it on the MBR of the  
FIRST HD, I put it on the MBR of the second one, where Linux is just 
installed ;-(
I should have choosen the MBR of the first HD.
Now how do I do erase the MBR on the second HD, then reinstall the boot 
loader on the MBR of the first HD ?

I've tried to restart a new install of linux. Then I 've asked to put the 
boot loader on the first hd, but it gave me nothing. I guess I should do 
that from linux. ??
