Reloaded Windows 10..system is not recognizing my dvd drive

[Ron8622]

Having refreshed my system with Windows 10, I've had a few issues. I had help from this forum on solving all the issues, except for one:  My dvd drive is not being recognized....message I receive is:  "E:/Directory name is invalid"

I have circumvented that by going to the disk management area of start up choices and clicked on the E drive there.  But this is starting to be a big inconvenience, to say the least.

Any suggestions?  I tried the deletion (in device manager) of the dvd/cd rom drive and drivers, also updating them....nothing has helped so far.
