Well, first I would do some research on how you want to make your os. You should make a list of all the things you want to incorperate into it.

Second, I would either start making a bootsector or
a kernel. You should check out www.osdev.com and under OsdevRing there is a list of people making there own os's that could help you. Also goto the links page on the same site and the three major sites you should goto is Operating System Resource Center, Code Your Own Os, and Boda Fide OS Development.

Third, Search some search engines for stuff on creating your own os.

google = lots of linux stuff
yahoo = a couple of sites on os

Aslo, Look through this forum and others for incite on you os. Once you start coding, the forums can help, especially if you can't get your code to work!

If you need any other help, you can always email me at

Try this, go to http://www.google.com/search?q=John+Fine+Kernel

This john fine person has a lot of good, simple examples you can download. Start with his bootf02. This is a simple bootsector that you can put on a floppy. It also comes with 2 simple kernels. One programmed im ASM, and another one purely in C. To compile them you'l need NASM for the asm code, gcc or tcc for the c code, jloc to link them, and partcopy to copy the bootsector file to the bootsector of the floppy. On john's site, there is a link to all those tools ;)
