Installing an OEM NEC DVDR ND-3550A; Any issues?

I will be receiving an OEM ND-3550A (NEC DVDR)...are there any issues in installing it?

I read the info on the NEC site and they say I should need no drivers or anything...just wasn't sure if the Dual Asspect changed anything.

I plan to pull the stock CDR/DVD and replace it with this new one.....since it is OEM, I have no drivers with it...do I need to download them or will it be easily recognized by XP Home....

I will probably load in this order:

IDE1a - 80GB OS/Programs
IDE1b - Secondary data drive (probably a spare 120)
IDE2a - NEW DVD R
IDE2b- 160GB SG (Mainly Data)

I am working to get my MP3s either on an external enclosure, or on a data server....

Seconday Question...I have an older version of Nero, will that work with basic DVD R? Do I need special/recent software to write DL DVDs?

Thanks for any info.

 
Wont need any Drivers.

Should work with Any Burning software you have/use.

I did have 1 issue with my 3520a and Nero tho, for soem reason My computer did not have the right version of or was missing winaspi32.dll, had to DL this and put it in the Nero folder to work right.
