Right now my Windows partition is active and I also have Fedora installed with GRUB on the first sector of the boot partition.

The problem is that with Windows there is no way to boot my Fedora installation.

I was just wondering if there is anyway to change the boot partition with GRUB on to the active partition using GParted on the Ubuntu LiveCD?

you have to reinstall grub:

Also, don't mess with the Active status of your MS Windows partition. It has to be active in order to boot.
