So fedora installed, and you do not get a boot option?

Can you still access your win7?

Do you get your regular win7 boot-loader, or did the look of the boot process change?

Do you have more than one harddrive?

I'm trying to figure out if the fedora boot-loader (named grub2) is installed on your drive.

Another question, do you have an UEFI/EFI laptop (i.e. is it new, less than a year old)?

It appears that you don't have grub2 (the boot loader) installed, which is weird since fedora should have installed it.

The easiest way to reinstall grub2 is to boot the fedora installation DVD (not the liveCD) and select Troubleshooting in the boot selection menu, this will start a fedora from the DVD into rescue mode and detect and mount your fedora installation for you. From there issue these steps:

chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub2-install /dev/sda
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

The first command will change your environment to the already installed fedora, the second will reinstall grub to your harddrive, the third command will update the grub configuration, be aware that if you have a very modern laptop which has a UEFI boot system the config will not be at /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and you need to follow the steps explained here
