help Installing ubuntu on a vista/fedora machine

[maldonw]

hello all
first let me start off that I am very new at this (like days new)

I have a vista/fedora laptop and I decided I wanted to load ubuntu as well.I started a fresh install of ubuntu in an newly created partition. This created a bit of a problem. grub now sees all 3 OS's however when i try to boot fedora I get the following error : you must load kernel first it then kicks me back to the grub page to choose another OS. I loaded ubuntu and did a sudo blkid and got this

wilfredo@wilfredo-laptop:~$ sudo blkid
[sudo] password for wilfredo:

wilfredo@wilfredo-laptop:~$

When you installed Fedora did you install its boot loader to the MBR, the boot partition - PBR, or not install it?
