è un problema dell'installer di fedora che nel caso in cui nello 
stesso disco sia installato un win$ non gli permette di funzionare 
(non lo chiamerei bug  .. ;-)

in definitiva viene modificata la partition table per cui 
devi passare manualmente  i parametri CHS del disco 
 hdN=<drive geometry> 
( nel tuo caso hda se questo contiene lilo o grub )

 ti allego un pezzo di articolo a riguardo, può aiutarti nelle 
ricerche,  non ricordo la url sorry...

***
The drive has not been damaged and your partition
table is fine.  The problem is that Windows demands a "sane" CHS 
table.
This table has been altered by Fedora Cores installer and Windows 
hangs.
Luckily, the actual table, in LBA format, is not  corrupted.  For 
those seeing a strange partition table, take note that you are 
probably looking at the table in CHS values and these values are 
derived from the geometry.  The GNU/Linux operating system does not 
use these values and operates purely with LBA values.  Windows should 
not be using CHS either, but for some reason it at least checks this 
geometry and can be prevented from booting by them being bad.  
Changing the drive geometry changes the CHS partition table  because 
this is a virtualization of the true state of affairs on the drive 
which are best described as being mystical.  Think of CHS geometry as 
a compass.  If you change the geometry you have recalibrated where 
the needles reference point is and you are no longer looking at true 
north.
