I'm sorry for asking this here, i really don't want to piss anybody off.
To be honest i'm kinda scared, that is why i lost a couple of nights searching to solve my problem.
I hope i won't disturb anybody.

So for the past 2 nights i'm trying to figure out how to use an emulator to test my kernel.
The real problem comes when i'm trying to make a bootable disk image, since i don't have a floppy drive or enough money to buy a dozen of CD-ROMs.
I tried using boch.I used bochs' image creation tool(bximage) to create a flat 700 mb image.However, i tried mounting it with daemon tools, no success, because it won't recognise the format.I also created a floppy disk image.I used a program that i found somewhere on this forum called "vfd" to mount my image.It worked great, i placed my bootloader and the kernel on the disk, but after i load it with bosch an error messages poped up saying that
Bochs bxrc fileRemove disks or other media.
Press any key to restart.
I removed all my virtual and physical disks(unmounted anything that was mounted via PowerISO or "vfd", but the error message still pops up.)megs: 32
romimage: file=$BXSHARE/BIOS-bochs-latest
vgaromimage: file=$BXSHARE/VGABIOS-lgpl-latest
vga: extension=vbe
floppya: 1_44=floppy.img, status=inserted
#I created a hdd.img, but i still get the error, that's why i commented it
#ata0-master: type=disk, path="hdd.img", mode=flat, cylinders=20, heads=16, spt=63
boot: floppy
log: bochsout.txt
mouse: enabled=0
cpu: ips=15000000
vga_update_interval: 150000
It is kinda anoying considering that this is not even the fun part.
I recently switched from game programming(i worked on a Gothic multiplayer mod which supported up to 10 players and on a 2D side scroller).
I finished both of my projects, but i felt that i need something else.
PS: Please don't be to harsh with me, i barely managed to write this post.
