    This is normal, it happens to me sometimes. It's becos CD is the generic form of disk. Are you having problems now this happened or just want some advice? :)

    The first type of disk.

    Ok, go to hardware manager and select your drive. Then uninstall it and reboot your PC. The when you restart it, it will find your drive and reinstall.
    Try that :)
