    Did you try installing the System in the same partition on which the ubuntu was installed? Did you do a manual partition or you let Fedora do it for you? Do post as these details can help. Also if you got any error after the installation completed? Or did the installation was aborted in the half way?

    If there is no problem formatting, it is better to format your disk and clean install both Fedora 11 and Ubuntu 9.04 again, Or, may be you should use Fedora 11 only in the mean time 9.10 is out, then download and install Ubuntu 9.10. Which bootloader have to choosen to boot from? I would recommend you to use Grub.

    If you think just the boot loader is corrupt, use GParted and create a partition of about 5MB with HFS+ file system and install Chameleon v2 boot loader, Its an awesome bootloader... See if you can do it with grub first.. Also check that you haven't overwritten Ubuntu by Fedora else you won't be able to start Ubuntu, in that case you will need to repair Fedora...
