Don't worry about hard drive access first. Just make a simple booting kernel that says "Hello World" or something on the screen.

You should have read the other 'getting started' posts on here.

And look at the Wiki!!! It has everything you need to get started! http://www.osdev.org/wiki/

And google is you friend.
