Boot into resue mode.  Just answer all questions to the default.
At the prompt you will see some text about where your filesystems are 
mounted. (/mnt/sysimage)
at the prompt:

# chroot /mnt/sysimage
# df -h

You need to verify where / and /boot are mounted.  I am ASSUMING 
/dev/sda.  It might be different on your system.

# grub-install --no-floppy --recheck /dev/sda
# exit
# exit

Remove the boot media and boot normally.

Good Luck.

I've already re-installed Fedora 7 (after disconnecting the power to the
raid hardware). Now it boots fine with the raid reconnected. I now just
have to figure out how to set up the two raid drives to mirror each
other.

Rick B.

You can add a new raid device with mdadm tool, after the partion of the two disk.

I suggest to make a backup copy of the data into the old raid devices.

If you dont know the mdadm tool, the man page is very exaustive, or ask here :)

Check the bios for the correctly boot sequence, after you plug the power into the raid devices.
