Yes, but you may be able to enable recording on only one at a time.

I have one of each on a Dell with no problems.

Not sure why it would be necessary, though, as a DVD burner does everything.

Way back in the dark ages of DVD writers (13 months ago ) when I
purchased my single format internal DVD +R/RW drive I paid $349.00 for it.
My theory on keeping both (the CDR drive was already in there) was that I
would continue to use the CDR drive for CDs and keep the vastly more
expensive DVD +R/RW for writing DVDs only thereby reducing the wear and
tear.

I'd have to agree at today's prices having both makes less sense. Good
point.

(Yes, but you may be able to enable recording on only one

Does anyone know of a work around for this?

Yes get rid of the CD burner.

Completely pointless now, though. I bought a Pioneer 107D (OEM) for £80 a
couple of weeks ago.

.
Why would I want to remove a piece of hardware from my

system that is working just fine over a fairly minor
inconvenience?
Yes the DVD burner will do both but I also have more than
one car too.
