Fedora 18 + Windows 7 - try(hd0,0): EXT2 and Missing MBR helper

Hello,

I've got this problem and I'm getting sick of search for awnsers because I'm not finding anything useful, so here goes..

I first install Windows 7, and made space for Fedora 18. Then I install Fedora 18 and booted into it and installed grub.

After that, I booted into Windows 7, installed EasyBCD. I added a new entry for Fedora 18, using GRUB2 -> saved -> Write MBR -> saved.
On the reboot the bootloader meny doesn't show up at all, so i added Fedora 18 without writing MBR and then I get to chooes between Fedora 18 and Windows 7 in the bootloader menu.
When I choose Fedora 18 it just prints the text try(hd0,0): EXT2: and stops there.

This is how my enteries looks like:
Code:
There are a total of 2 entries listed in the bootloader.


Default: Windows 7 Professional (recovered) 
Timeout: 10 seconds
EasyBCD Boot Device: C:\


Entry #1
Name: Windows 7 Professional (recovered) 
BCD ID: {current}
Drive: C:\
Bootloader Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe


Entry #2
Name: Fedora 18
BCD ID: {9dc155c9-a5af-11e2-aa6f-e826a9f4fd8e}
Drive: C:\
Bootloader Path: \NST\AutoNeoGrub7.mbr

When I check the .mbr files in C:\NST, which isn't meant to be viewed in Notepad I'd guess since there's alot of wierd characters, this is the parts that i can read of it:
Code:
Missing MBR-helper.
disk error No ANG7

BIOS: Drive=0x%X, H=%d, S=%d
 TUNE: Drive=0x%X, H=%d, S=%d

Now please help! I'm stuck here. Is there anything else you need to know?
