Are you trying to join your 2012 server to the domain .. or promote it to be a DC?
I don't see your screenshot attached.
If you are trying to promote, see the following link (http://kpytko.pl/2012/09/07/adding-first-windows-server-2012-domain-controller-within-windows-200320082008r2-network/)

So you are trying to promote the 2012 server to be a DC?
See my post above ... did you run all the needed Preps to introduce a 2012 server in to a 2003 domain?

My current domain server is not booting in normal mode. This is with Windows server 2003 OS. Now i am running this server in Directory service restore mode. Now i am not able to open DNS server, DHCP server and Active directory users and computers at all. I can ping from inside and outside this domain. But i cannot open anything. I think whenver i try to promote my new 2012 erver to this domain, 2012 server cant see this domain.

You need to get your domain operational again. Why are you running in DS Restore mode. You booted in to this to carry out a restore so you could get AD working again? Or just because this was the only way you could get her back up?
What happens when you try to boot in to normal?
I take it this is your only DC? How many clients? Do you have a valid backup to work from?
Without a functional domain and DNS you will not be able to do anything unfortunately. So you need to get this working to proceed.

If i booting this into normal mode. It is booting again and again. This domain is on physical server. and now all users can access network properly. But i cannot open anything from this server. I have two servers. Another BDC i have shut down some days back bcz that time some network broadcast problem. so i shut down that domain. shud i start that server and promote this as primary domain? and then i can proceed further with 2012 server?
you have a couple of options.
1. Sounds like you have an issue with your main DC. Could be a driver issue, or hardware. You could try to do a restore on her and see if she will come back up, or boot in to safe mode and troubleshoot her from there to see if it is software related.
2. If you have the second DC you could bring her back up. Work out what your broadcast issue was in case you have any kind of malware on it. If you are happy she is OK, you could sieze the roles over on to it, clean up AD to remove the old server, and then start over following the article I posted earlier on adding a 2012 server.
