Don't worry, all your photos will be imported without overwriting any from the other camera (they'll be renamed e.g. dsc_0001_1.jpg). It might be though, that they won't end up in the same event automatically (but you can of course merge the events - again safely without losing pictures). On the HD they should end in the same folder though if they carry the same date.
