Ok, that's a messed-up menu.lst you got there. Basically, the way you have it setup now is to default to entry 1 (which is the second entry, called "Other", since the count begins at 0), which is pointing at (hd0,1). And though the timeout value is 5 (meaning you would have 5 seconds to choose the enrtry to boot into), the "hiddenmenu" line messes that up too, because it hides the menu. That means you will boot into entry "Other" by default everytime unless you happen to press Esc to get to the menu, and then select your Fedora entry.
And according to your Disk Management, (hd0,1), which is the first hard drive in the boot sequence in the BIOS, and the second partition in the MBR partition table of that hard drive, is your "RECOVERY (D)" partition, which doesn't contain BOOTMGR and BCD, which would explain why you were getting the message "BOOTMGR is missing" when you attempted to boot into Linux.
Since I'm not sure exactly where your Fedora partition is located on your system, you can try changing the "default" line in your menu.lst to 0 instead, so that way it will default to your Fedora entry instead of the "Other" entry. There's a chance (hd0,4) is correct and that's where your Fedora partition is on your system.
If it still doesn't boot after that, though, you will need to post a screenshot of what the "Device" menu under the Linux tab in EasyBCD 2.0 shows, as well as the output of the following command run from EasyBCD's Power Console on the "Useful Utilities" page:
