Hi Rahul,

Systems level programming is very complex and not generally recommendable
to beginning programmers. To give You an insight in what is involved I would
recommend You get the following documents, which provide ample information.

Intel Architecture Software Developer’s Manual Vol.1 (Intel doc.nr: 
24319001)
Intel Architecture Software Developer’s Manual Vol.2 (Intel doc.nr: 
24319101)
Intel Architecture Software Developer’s Manual Vol.3 (Intel doc.nr: 
24319202)

These documents are still available in PDF format, free of charge, from 
Intel's webserver.
(http://www.intel.com/design/archives/processors/mmx/index.htm)

Vol.1 deals with the basic architecture., Vol.2 is the assembly 
instructions reference,
and finally Vol.3 deals with systems level programming.

Other than that, I would recommend You begin studying code at the 
applications level,
which is considerably less complicated. You will find lots of good 
source to study in
the ros-apps directory of the ReactOS source repository.

Kind Regards
Love N
