So, just to be certain that I understand this correctly:
1. the ubuntu-installed grub is what is run when you boot your system.
This does not work?

2. You can access the installed fedora system.
I assume you are using a rescue disc for this?

if so, you can put (the first stage of) GRUB back on the MBR from within
fedora, which will then use your fedora grub.conf file
* boot with your rescue disc. Let it mount all your partitions
* chroot /mnt/sysimage
* grub-install /dev/hda (/dev/sda if you have a SATA harddrive.)
* exit
* exit
your system should reboot at this point. Hopefully showing the default
fedora grub screen.

Kind Regards,
