The errors are my fault, I typed. I did not know any way copy directly.
You give me the solution by questioning the number of partition and fat16 
that remind me, one time I had used partition magic 8 to install the boot 
magic it made a small partition fat16 because it could not install on NTFS 
partition.
The solution happen to be very simple I edit the line "(root hd0,1) and 
change 1 to 2 the change is temporary but good enough to copy all data 
needed, then I installed f9 from the i386 iso disk which work perfectly. 
thank you so very much, you guys are the greatest
