This is how you can restore Grub with a default Fedora 19 installation. Grub will recognize your Windows 7 installation.
Boot from the live DVD and open a terminal as root. First use fdisk -l
to identify your partitions.
This example is from a system that uses default partitioning of Fedora 19.
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l
