im in windows 7 @ moment , avoiding rebooting lock me out of computer have access to. tried running ubuntu livecd restore grub dont know how mount fedoras lvm partitions.

can repair grub or @ least install mbr capable of booting windows? can boot floppies , cds using vmware not sure use fix this.

fedora livecd wont mount of partitions install grub,
ubuntu livecd may work if can mount lvm partitions.
