Well its just like reverse engineering an application. Except instead of debugging a program on the system, your debugging the system itself. You have to have good knowledge of assembly! (Well at least for Windows since the source is not available!) You have to analyze the code and be able to understand it, and maybe create pseudo C/C++ code for it.
This one project a long time ago I stumbled upon, "ReactOS". Its goal is to be a free and open source operating system, that's binary compatible with Windows, which can be used as a free alternative to windows and should be able to run any program you can run on windows... Back then it wasn't much, but It has come a long way. The developers have been working at it reverse engineering windows and creating a complete open source system! They are making it the best they can to be exactly like windows, except with all their own code. No actual Microsoft code is used, although it probably is pretty similar. They've already got the NT kernel going, they don't have NTFS file system drivers yet(apparently file system drivers are very difficult to make and only for the ultra leet minded)Its not their top priority as of now though...
They have coded tons of WINAPI's so just looking at their code could help you understand what windows is doing when you call those api's! Of course not all api's are coded yet, but they are getting there! One day I hope to see the project be just as good if not better than windows! That will be the day

| The source code fro Windows 2k exists on the internet if you are curious as to how it works... Although, I would assume you want it for something more than ust a curiosity... |

I would first recommend reading this article. After you have fully read and completely understand it, I then recommend you go here. |
