sure, first look up the .exe file type, and figure out how everythings stored. once you do that, ask some more
http://wotsit.org look up "exe"

I think the file format is not the biggest problem. Exe files call dos interrupts and they don't exist if you don't run dos/win... So give up. You won't succeed in writing an OS. There are so many points you have to mind. You'll need a FAT file system and so on and you have to program all the things using ASM. Horrible. Or you could try using FreeDOS.

IF YOU COULD HELP I'D SAY YAY!!! :D :DWell you want to get it to run without windows or DOS right? You could get Linux =P But then you aren't making an OS. Making and OS is pretty tough. OS means Operating System. It operates everything in the computer (that the BIOS doesn't). It'd take many many long sessions of research. Maybe a few classes will help. QB can't do it. If you want to make a fakeOS or a GUI go straight ahead. It'd never be an OS. Something something... blah

i know 'exe' isnt the biggest problem but if exe files are over your head, you might as well stop there XD thats the point i was trying to illustrate ;P
