    Well the Ubuntu loader had a real problem with your fedora! I think 
there must be a problem with /dev/sdc5 and this is why it failed. By the 
way sdc means the third hard drive on your computer. Do you have 3 hard 
drives?

    You can fix it by replacing the fedora system on (hd0) with one from 
your Ubuntu. Then you can boot Ubuntu and fix your menu.lst so it boots 
fedora and windows.
