no grub after installing fedora23

[Walter Cazzola <cazzola@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Fedora Experts,

I' ve recently bought a new Dell Precision m6800 and today I was trying to install Fedora 23 in dual boot with windows 7 (this was the OS originally on the machine).

I' ve run the installer from the live CD and after a couple of wrong attempts I successfully finished the installation process without errors or at least apparently without errors.

I' ve restarted the machine I got into the following error message:

    file "/boot/grub2/i386-pc/normal.mod" NOT FOUND
    grub rescue>

neither windows nor fedora boot.

Booting again from the live cd I got that ever the partition are there:

/dev/sda12      371611648 1953523711 1581912064 754.3G 83 Linux

where sda1-3 are the original windows partitions, sda5 is /boot and sda6 is /

I' ve mounted the /boot partition and inside grub2 there is not i386-pc dir nor the normal.mod file. I' ve tried to manually copy  /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod into /boot/grub2 but the only difference I got is that the boot is stucked on

  grub>

So what I have to do to fix the situation and be able to run both windows and linux?

thank you in advance for your help.

Walter
