Question
Sir I am Designing an Operating System that could fit in a floppy (in Assembly ). but I feel it to be hard . Can I use C . Then what should I do to make it independently work from Floppy .

Answer
The size of floppy is 1.44MB?
So, if your image has to fit inside this, it is very difficult.
I am not telling it is not possible.

First of all decide, what all will go into your OS.
Do you need memory manageent?
Do you need process and processor management?
Do you want to have multi-threading?
Do you want to have filesystem and which one if yes?

Like this you have to comeout with a minimum set of things.
Then see how much memory each takes.....!?

All the best.
