For windows you'll need the DDK (Windows Driver Development Kit), also Microsoft press has a book "The windows driver model" that explains all.

For linux, well.. I think it's easier and there're enough information.

The definitive book for driver programming is "Programming the Windows Driver Model" by Walter Oney. You may take a look at his website at **broken link removed**
