If you're performing a manual partitioning, then you must create such a partition:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS_boot_partition

It's offered in the pull down menu within diskdrake when creating a new partition.
If you do automatic partitioning, it should be created automatically

@ Robert

I suppose you tried that with success, so that this report can be closed?

No! this is a  triple boot with Win10 and Mageia 5 already installed.

I don't want to reparation it again. I have a triple boot on 2 other systems win Mageia 5 and 6 and Win10.

It's just My 1 Dell that has a problem.

Thanks for the feedback. Assuming a hardware issue and closing as worksforme.
