Yesterday I downloaded MS FixIt-portable tool having some issues with my
DVD-drive .When prompted i saved the file to my D:drive.After running
the tool icon on my D:drive changed to generic one and drive is renamed
to- Fix it portable(D:)!

I tryed to rename it back to local disk(D:)but failed.How this happened and
how to fix it?

No error message,and yes i can acces files on the drive.

In fact there was an error msg while running a Fix it module for solving DVD drive issue.
Other modules are working fine,but this one gives me :Error 0x80070057

That error number tells you that specifically some of windows files are corrupt or not readable.

Try running a system file check.
