Thanks guys, so this is what I understood.
1. No boot.ini
2. Make a ext3 boot partition with grub only
3. So grub cannot be on the same partition than FC3?
4. Then I put Grub on the hd1 where windows is.
5. The boot partition must be hd1,hd2,hd3,hd4
6 The grub must be install under /

I will try this. And I'll let u know if it worked.
Thank a lot for ur Help.
 
Let me clarify for a second:
1. correct
2. ext3 or ext2 would work fine
3. grub CAN be on the same partition as FC3, but doesn't have to be. When you partition your harddrive, you can make 4 primary partitions, or 3 primary partitions and as many logical partitions as you want. The only problem is you can't boot off of a logical partition (any number after 4). So you could put FC3 on a logical partition (say, hda7), but then you would need to put a /boot partition with grub on either hda1, hda2 or hda3. Winblows usually insists on taking hda1, so I use hda2 for my boot partition usually.
4. I think I explained this above...hopefulyl it makes sense
5. yeah, you get the idea here
6. Grub will be installed in /boot
