OK, sorry guys, the problem is solved :
the problem came from the fact that i did not know about uefi and stuff and had created a whole new partition table old style .
The problem is fixed by :
- creating a new gpt partition table
-creating a fat16 partition before installing and setting bios_flag to true
- install
