How do you start windows?  Do you choose it from a boot menu?  Is Linux
in that menu also?

I seem to remember now from the installfest.  At one point you had it 
functioning with dual-boot windows and RHEL.  Is that correct?  Did you 
try to "upgrade" to fedora using the fedora disks?  Did that seem to go OK?

With a little more information, we should be able to get you up and 
running soon!
