On Fedora installation, you can choose which path GRUB will go by checking something like "advanced configuration". That will allow you to choose to install on MBR or first partition. I have noticed some posters did not try that method.
KernelPanic:
It's just a simple grub-install /dev/hda.
Provided of course that you have a config file in /boot/grub/

you can only install grub through linux. I can't use grub-install becauise it's a linux shell script. I can only boot windows right now

This sounds like a personal problem. You have Windows, right? Given that, and the fact that you're posting here, you have a live connection, right? Download and burn Knoppix and install Grub that way. Now your two remaining excuses are incompetence (which I refuse to believe) and laziness (which is probable, given my own tendency towards it ;) ).

Not on my computer, they don't. But FC2 writes grub to the MBR during installation, and it might have some goofy args that it passes or something.
Seriously, the literature is available - I doubt you are the first person to ever be unable to install grub. Google away.

This has nothing to do with Fedora.
Parted can corrupt the hard disk geometry from your partition table in any 2.6 installation.
Parted needs to get the right geometry from the kernel.
This isn't always correct using 2.6.
See:

PS: You can avoid this by adding the the rigth geometry when you boot for it's installation.
Use fdisk to see it's right size.
