There's no need to uninstall, as Stefan says.
As for making it 'aware' of your cd drives... AFAIK, there's no need, it
uses windows hooks for this (ie same as a commandline, or cygwin bash, etc).
Note that CDDA doesn't work as far as I know.. (I'm working on a build guide
just now, got a few things that aren't compiling..)
