Vista - Usb, sd, and cd/dvd drive will not read

If i put any memory device in, it says i must format the disk before i can use it...but I have alot of information on them and its pointless to delete information that i want to see. If i click on the properties of the disk it says i have 0% unused information. I turned auto play off and even uninstalled ROXIO. With ROXIO deleted, the cd drive now says i must insert a disk but there is already one in there. The other drives still say the same as they did before ROXIO was deleted. This problem started off as the cd drive only messing up sometimes. Then it stopped working completely. Within a few weeks i couldnt use any of the drives. Ive tried many diagnostic tests and no luck.

Do you mean DVD drives? And how many arn't working?

the optical drive for Cd/dvds. My usb, sd and optical drive will not read the information. It knows something is there tho

The drive for CD's/DVD's is brand new

i had the same problem on my old computer and i downloaded a program...

Driver Detective 2009 - Update your drivers ...

Thank you, that software is exactly what I needed, but when i went into my device manager and clicked on each out of date drive (29 of them) it said that Windows has determined that my software is up to date. the major drivers that driver detective said were out of date were the dislpay adapter, all of the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers, and all but one of my system devices. how do i update them?
