Hi,

I'd advise replacing the CD burner with the DVD burner. The DVD burner will burn CDs as well so it makes the CD burner a bit redundant. Plus if you leave the DVD ROM you can use that to rip DVDs faster than the burner can and save wear and tear on the burner.

It should be a matter of simply disconnecting the data and power cables from your existing burner and then reconnecting them to the new one once its installed.

Here's a couple of links that may help:

Be sure to set the DVD burner as Master (jumpers too) and set the ROM to Slave for best performance.
