I just find the solution !!
in fact the System DOS partition must be the first of FAT16/32 partition on
the disk
in my case, the first FAT16/32 est partition 2, so even if I boot on
Partition 3, Command.Com must be on partition 2 !!
>>> I am going to switch order between partition2 and partition3
Thanks everybody for your help !
