It seems you're new to Linux. You don't know how to install Grub but you've installed an alpha version of Fedora that's full of bugs and is liable to crash.... Install Fedora 8 which is the current stable version then come back for help.

Also remember that all bugs and problems you find must be reported to the development team. This forum is not connected with the Fedora project.

You're on the worst situation possible. Having no clue on Linux you managed to install an alpha version, not even the latest beta. So you can't do much about it. Only two reliable options are available:

1> Install current stable F8 version

2> Wait for ~another month fo F9 to be released.

Either way, an install is needed.

My suggestion is: Wait for F9 and meanwhile familiarize yourself with linux. You have much to learn ;)

I tried to tell you nicely, we do not support the alpha version of F9. Do not ask support questions in this forum. Install Fedora 8 if you want help.
