Barry,

grub is always installed under /boot, what you were seeing was a
temporary location. I'm guessing that what happened is that the Master
boot record got altered.  When you corrected this for windows, in true
windows fashion it assumed that it was the only OS on the machine and
wiped out the link to grub.  Someone else should be able to tell you
how to recreate that link so you are back to where you started.
Reinstalling FC6 will do it but that seems overkill for your case.
