I have 2 disc drives one a standard drive, the second is a RW. Now I want to add a second RW drive so I can burn to 2 discs at the same time, is this quite easy to do regarding fitting the new RW drive and software issues??

Very simple indeed...remove the drive that you aren't going to use anymore and replace it with the new drive paying attention to the jumpers on the back of the new drive to see that they are set identically to the one you've taken out.

Thanks. I have seen your reply (guide)to posts about slow burning speeds. As a newbie can you tell me if my IDE are set correctly?

The first is I seem to have 2 primary IDE listed and 1 secondary IDE?
They are set up as
1st primary, device 0
transfer mode DMA if avail:
current trans mode PIO mode:
device 1
transfer mode DMA if avail:
current trans mode ULTRA DMA mode 2:
2nd primary device 0
transfer mode DMA if avail:
current trans mode ULTRA DMA mode 5:
device 1
trans mode DMA if avail:
current mode N/A:
secondary IDE device 0
trans mode DMA if avail:
current N/A:
device 1
trans mode DMA if avail
Current N/A

Is this se up correct?
