ok, fair enough!

I followed Tim's instructions, but did this with Fedora-Live CD:

1) Boot in Fedora-Live
   + Open Shell Terminal Window

2) fdisk -l

   *** note!!! ***
+ Disk drives are DIFFERENT, not necessarily the same as when booted in Fedora!

For example, when you boot in Fedora (the real thing), the 3 disks for
       me it was:
       /dev/sda - PATA
       /dev/sdb - SATA-1
       /dev/sdc - SATA-2

       In Fedora-Live, is displayed as:
       /dev/sdb (PATA)
       /dev/sdc (SATA-2)
       /dev/sdd (SATA-1)

3) grub

   a) find /grub/stage1
       In my case, it showed:
(hd1,0) - SATA-2 - boot-sys - the next 2 partitions are the NEW drive I am trying to construct per Tim's instructions
       (hd1,1) - SATA-2 - boot-f8
       (hd1,2) - SATA-2 - boot-f9
(hd2,2) - SATA-1 - boot-f8 - this is my original "untouched" drive where I started originally. This was the grub I "popped"

   b) setup (hd2)
(grub has installed the MBR and fixed my original drive problem - output was similar to Tim's instructions)

   c) quit
   d) Reboot - I was able to get my original drive back up and running!)

The new drive I am still working on is:

   SATA-2 (750GB)
   ======================
   *** Note *** Actual sizes are not exact!
   /dev/sdc1 - boot-sys (100MB)
   /dev/sdc2 - f8-boot   (100MB)
   /dev/sdc3 - f9-boot   (100MB)
   /dev/sdc4 - Extended Partition
   /dev/sdc5 - f8-root    (175GB)
   /dev/sdc6 - f9-root    (175GB)
   /dev/sdc7 - f-App1    (351GB)
   /dev/sdc8 - swap        (~5GB) (I have 2GB RAM)

To be continued....

Cheers!
Dan
