Your PC lacks the linux boot code!!

If you swap hard disks, only got an error, uh?
That's the evidence. Your linux installation lacks the booting code. You must setup a bootloader : LiLo or Grub .
You may review the Fedora setup steps, visiting http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc4.html .

If you correctly setup a linux bootloader, you should be able to boot Windows also.
