Please don't try this unless others reply to support this, but...

ok I will wait
 
If you can boot to a Fedora CD/DVD which is able to detect your Fedora
install then I think it should be something like this..

what do you mean by " is able to detect your Fedora install"? I can boot with the live cd and mount all the partitions but nothing is automatically done.
 
chroot /mnt/sysimage

what should sysimage be? is this a file in the /boot partition? I don' t have any file with this name in /boot
 
fdisk /dev/sda
 Command (m for help): a
 Partition number ([snip] default x): 5
 Command (m for help): w
 The partition table has been altered.
 Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.

do the numbers already refer to my partitions or I' ve to change something? what should this do?
 
grub2-install /dev/sda

if this doesn't work can I go back to the previous situation? if yes how?

thanks for the help
Walter
