First: I'm sorry English is not your first language, because it's a little hard to understand what you want.
Second: If I understand what you want, you want someone to write an OS program for you? I don't think that anyone is going to dedicate all that time if you haven't done anything. I know I wouldn't.

Code for install disk
 fs.copy("disk/a", "startup")
And like craniumkid22 said, nobody's going to want to write an entire OS for you if you don't do anything.

Ok, your English obviously isn't that good, I'm guessing you are Polish.

All of the things you need to know can be found on these forums, but you are unlikely to get anyone to write and OS for you.

Also, putting something in the startup file isn't the same as making an operating system for the computer. The computer actually loads CraftOS from the bios.lua file included with the mod, so it's that you'll have to be editing if you want to make a proper operating system.
