no it wont result with a conflict as you can set your dvd
rom as a "master" and your dvd-writer as a "slave" (these
are the settings on the back of each drive,they have a
plastic clip that is removable and shorts out the two
connection pins, these are labled "M" "S" and "CS" ^^^
read as above to set these)

but as our question asks, you still wont b able to copy a
dvd-r from drive to drive, the only way 2 do it will to be
to copy it in the dvd-writer stand alone, probably will
take the same ammount of time to be honest.

You can copy from DVD to DVD if you change your controller connections.
If you have one mastering and one slaving from the same IDE location you
cannot copy (what they call on the fly) from DVD to DVD. Change one of
your DVD's to slave from your hard drive location and you can the copy
on the fly DVD to DVD.
Hope this helps.
