Installing DL DVD burner, already CD-RW installed?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I just ordered a DL 16x DVD burner. Presently have a CD-RW
drive installed.
Question...will I or should I turn burning OFF on the CD-RW
so the DVD is the only burning drive for both DVD and CDs?
Or will the two drives coexist as slave and master (DVD
would be installed as master)? I use ROXIO software
version 5.3.5, but plan to upgrade that too.

Thanks
