Do they not read under windows, or say a program like Nero, etc...

You installed anything recently that make use of the drives? Maybe that is conflicting with them...

Can you access the drives under safe mode? If so, try that and bung a DVD in, see if it works then.
If it does, then as Reepah says something is conflicting with them software-wise...
