I assume that you realize that you shouldn't have chosen the "no other
os" option...

The only way that I know of is to edit /etc/grub.conf directly or
using grubby, both of which are cli, more-or-less-not-for-a-novice
methods - but we can help you out.

You could also ask on fedora-users whether there is a gui grub editor.
