I don't know what more to do other than reinstall Windows and then
that's going to mess the Linux boot process.
Grub.config is:

Which looks ok to me. However when I get the splashscreen that asks to
"press any key"
nothing happens? I can press Enter or the Space Bar and it ignores the
keyboard and contiues
conting down until the FC6 boot process begins.
fdisk shows:
fdisk -l /dev/hda
Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders

Any thoughts on what to try next are welcome.

The user [not me] had plugged the keyboard into the ps2 mouse
connector. The mouse was connected to a usb port. The keyboard would
not work until FC6 booted after which everything appeared to work
normally. Once the proper connections were restored things returned to
normal.
Thanks for the response.
