Thanks ithelp but I want to learn creating an OS, not to copy others code.
You learn by checking out how someone else coded theirs. Find a couple more

Dear you are right but if some one just give me the basic code, I mean just the start and then I can learn from those source codes as well.

Ok -- here goes
Before doing anything, learn to read English. That is an absolute must prerequisit. Apparently you have failed to do that because it seems you did not yet read any of the links or comments in any of the previous posts. Writing an operating system is not child's play or someting that a first or second year college IT student would be expected to tackle. Bill Gates didn't even do that -- he bought the original source code from someone at IBM.
