Swap CDR for DVDR problems?

[djcc]

Going back and forth on internal vs. external DVD burner. Currently have a Dell Dimension 8200 with both DVD-ROM & CD-R drives. Roxio software is what I have used to create audio CD's. I have used nothing special other than windows XP itself to "drag & drop" data files to CDs.

I'm looking for any input on what to expect if I swap the CD burner for a DVD burner. Some questions I can think of include:

Will I lose windows drag & drop file burning capability?

If software bundled with a DVD burner is not Roxio (such as Nero, Ulead, etc), will I need to uninstall Roxio to prevent conflicts?

If I pick up an OEM drive that does not have software, is it a reasonably safe bet that the Roxio software I have will handle it?

Any other considerations related to swapping a CDR for DVDR would be appreciated.

I've got an older Dimension 4500, with Roxio, NO Nero. Only because I have heard from more than a few sources that Roxio and Nero on the same O/S is going to cause conflicts.
I have B's Recorder Gold and it works fine with Drag and Drop.

Windows XP drag and drop should work the same for a DVD burner as it does for a CD burner, just with added DVD functionality. Most people seem to prefer Nero over Roxio for other burning tasks.

Thanks for the input from you both. I'm just gonna pull the trigger, get a drive, and see what happens!
