i've started createing my own operative system and i have learn a lot of new thinks with the bran's tutorial. i've create the binary file but now i don't understand how to go on. i don't know how to load the kernel. i've downloaded bochs but i don't understand how to create the img file and how use grub to create the boot disk. can any one suggest me a very simple tutorial on it? thank's in advance.

ps sorry for my bed english but i am italian

I hope you keep learning English.

• 1. What format is your kernel in?
  2. What operating system are you using?
  3. Grub is just a Bootloader, it loads the kernel
  4. I really suggest you read the http://www.osdev.org/wiki/Getting_Started tutorial on the wiki and http://www.osdev.org/wiki/GRUB
  5. RTFW, STFW!

my kernel is in binary and i use windows xp...

I suggest using an elf format. Also, you should install cygwin if you are using C. What language are you using(?), and please do read the tutorials. Also, Check out Working with disk images under Windows

Bochs for Windows
Loading Sectors
Using Grub


you could have at least looked under Brans tutorial.

i'am using c. i'am following the Bran's Kernel Development tutorial!!

Well, here is your first English lesson.

A "bed" is:

While, "bad" is:

So in the future, be careful with your a's and e's... you might accidentally proposition someone.

Don't get upset, excuse me, but your post was what could be called very n00bish. From what I get of you, I think you should really study some computer science, read manuals etc. I would not rely on turorials for everything( Even though that is great to start out),don't base your OS on one.
