Many thanks for people's suggestions so far...
Yes - I have checked that there are no other disks causing a problem. I have played with the ordering of boot drives; I have run the fedora installation cd in rescue mode. I played with all possible permutations of how to set up the boot configuration, but everything gave the same result. The trouble is I don't really know what I'm looking for. The grub.conf looks like others I've seen while trawling through Google, so I assume it is OK.
I will have a go with the suggestion below tomorrow:-

Did you try the Fedora Rescue CD? Or you could try Knoppix. In either case you could look at /etc/grub.conf and see if this is correct. If it is you could try re-installing with "grub-install --recheck/dev/hda" (or whatever your hard disk is called).
