I've bought only one years ago!
As Mick said, there is no way around it. If the CD does not have Vista driver, and the manufacturer website doesn't either, then you're out of luck, I'm afraid.
But it sounds to me like your mass storage device (an external hdd, perhaps?) is a couple of years old, in which case the manufacturer will probably not be relasing Vista driver for it. Looks like you're going to have to buy another one...
