Cr Rom Drivers - How To Obtain

I restored this computer without backing up the files and now can not use the CD Rom or "A" drive to download drivers for wireless and updates.  The drives are reported as OK, but will not reconnized a disk when placed in the drive.  Please advise on what I can do to get on line.  The USB port will not operate either.  Yes, this was my mistake, but the drivers should be available somewhere in the memory.  Thanks
