This computer technology works on 'master and slave' technology. in this two similar type of devices can be attached to the same data port on the motherboard. In order to install a combo drive there are two possible conditions:-1. you already have a CD-ROM,CD-rw etc.2. this is your first drive.
if you already have drive then plug the data cable of combo drive into the previous drive and then plug the power cable of combo drive drive into power supply of system . then turn on the system combo drive will appear as the slave of previous drive . The combo drive is ready to use. (In case of an OS other than win- xp, you are supposed to install a driver).
If this is your first drive then plug the data cable of combo drive on the motherboard and plug the power supply and turn on the system drive will appear (in case of OS other than win- xp, you are supposed to insall a driver).
