Why? What do you mean with "grub prompt"? Do you need to type in
"configfile (hd0,1)/grub/grub.conf" to get the boot menu or what?

After you've booted into F7, running "grub-install /dev/sda" should
fix it, as GRUB needs to learn about the root device once (so it knows
where to finds its images). That assumes that your
/boot/grub/grub.conf is correct, however, and that it points GRUB to
the right /boot partition, which is /dev/sda2 = (hd0,1) in your case,
which is mounted on /boot when you're in F7, and which really must
contain the grub/grub.conf file. Make sure you don't mount and work on
/dev/sdc2 instead.

At the GRUB command-prompt, "find /grub/grub.conf" should return
(hd0,1) at least.

[Or perhaps you've played too much with the various symlinks like
/boot/grub/menu.lst -> grub.conf" and /etc/grub.conf ->
/boot/grub/grub.conf and now have lots of separate config files? ;)]
