Upgrading XP to W7

OK so I am going to bite the bullet and upgrade to W7 from XP. I read too many negative reviews about Vista so I gave it a miss. To do this I have purchased an external hard drive as recommended by microsoft to help with the conversion. Now, with all this extra (1Tb) capacity I am going to use it as a master backup drive for my considerable music/photo/video collection and would like to know if I can also put my many installation CD/DVD's which I have lying around on it as well. I am a bit concerned about them becoming unuseable due to some form of drm or equivalent if I do this. Any help or advice regarding this would be appreciate.d
