External hard drive appears as dvd drive

I was wondering if anyone has experienced this problem. I have an
external hard drive Western Digital to be exact. Though, I cannot
access the external hard drive because it appears as a dvd drive. I
even tried doing a restore off of the cd to go back to factory
settings but the restore fails because some files are missing or
corrupted. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it

Thanks,
Jeff
