Hi again,

I found what's happen..... My System Folder was named 'Dossier système'  
(guess you do not discover i'm french ;) ). It's look like the è  (e  
accent) disturb Mom/Mol.

Renaming the System Folder from "Dossier Système' to 'System Folder'  
and let go !

Curiously, Mol was hable to boot from a CD with à "Dossier Système'  
System Folder....
