Hey all, i want to ask something

Question about which tools to use, bugs, the best way to implement a function, etc should go here. Don't forget to see if your question is answered in the wiki first! When in doubt post here.

What programming languages do you know? And how much experience do you have with them? Do you know how to get the results you want from Google?

OS development is not for learning a language, and should only be attempted if you've written several non-trivial applications (a simple video game, IMHO, is a good start, because there are plenty of things that can be directly translated to OS development).

If you would kindly answer these questions then we will be able to better get you started, be that telling you to go learn your chosen programming language or pointing you to the Wiki (which has several tutorials).

Agreed.

OP: Please take a look at the various resources available here. Read the forum rules, and take a look at the wiki. There's many articles there to point you in the right direction, as well as tutorials to help get you started.

If you have no development experience, I'd highly recommend picking up ASM and C or C++. Write some applications using those languages, read the resources you've been pointed to, and come back and try again. OS Development is not for the beginner programmer; it's a complex beast that takes a very good knowledge of the CPU architecture, the programming languages you'll be using, your toolchain, and more.
