hardware driver install issue

i need help installing a piece of hardware to my pc. vista had trouble finding the drivers for it. at the initial start of vista many drivers were missing. i found many of the drivers installed i was able to take many of the drivers from the xp partition without error. however i keep getting an issue when trying to get the drivers for my pci modem. it finds the drivers from the xp partition but then an error accurs and it can't install them. i wanna finish installing all the hardware for my pc. i have pc cards that i wanna get installed as well that are having the same installation issues with the drivers but i wanna take care of the pci modem first because it is integrated hardware. please help.
