I've tried a PE kernel with multiboot header built followed by Srenevasan's blog

And I've tried with GRUB as Kernel --type=multiboot /kernel.exe But it doesn't work . An error reported just said unsupported executable format.How and why?

It couldn't find the multiboot header. As i dont know the workings of msvc, reread the tutorial to see wether you missed anything, and try running mbchk (which comes with grub).

Who said OSDeving was easy
Being able to read documentation is a necessary skill for this kind of work, so I suggest you work on it... Besides, this is IMO the most usable document around.
