Changed the grub.conf to osmething like this, with changes so the
correct partitions are indicated:# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this
file
# NOTICE:  You do not have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.

#          initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda

        root (hd0,2)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.1833_FC4 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb
quiet
        initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.15-1.1833_FC4.img

title Win2000
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)

It may be he will have to reinstall grub with:
grub-install
