Or chuck the CD drive out

DVD drive should read CD's too

so yeah chuck old DVD or old CD only advantage of having 2 DVD drives is dic to disc copying.

Assuming your DVD drive can read CD's too.. chuck the cd unless it's a RW/R

yep the only time you want to chuck anything out is if the DVD drive is a Rewriter, if the dvd drive is only for reading discs then obviously keep the cd drive(if its a Rewriter) if its not then ebay it, either way you dont want to be getting rid of the DVD one because that will read both types of discs, where as the CD drive wont
