Get-Location with :\

I want to grab the current drive letter of the CD Drive and append :\ to it.

I was thinking something like 

$test = (get-location).drive.name
$test2 = ":\"
$test = $test + $test2

Then, $test will equal p:\

This however doesn't seem very efficient, is there a better alternative?

That's all true if you are already located in the cd drive. Here's an alternative way:

(Get-WmiObject Win32_CDRomDrive).Drive+'\'
