CD and DVD burner in same comp, any problem?

Right now I just have a CD burner in my computer, but I want to add a DVD burner as my primary and then slave the CD burner to it. That way I can burn discs on the fly (well CD’s anyway), but having two burners will not cause any conflicts will it?

Nope, as long as you jumper them right, and have the proper drivers for each, there shouldnt be problems. I have two burners myself.

You already have the correct drivers for both of the drives, they are ATAPI drivers that are native to windows. All you need is good burning software that will recognize both drives separately, I would recommend NERO 6.3 or newer.
