To find the drivers, first look at the device's setup CD. If the information is not on the CD itself, then go to the manufacturers Web site and search for the device drivers. If you find them, download the driver(s) and you should be okay.

How do you install a USB2 PCI?

Power down and disconnect the computer and remove the side. Install the card in one of the free PCI slots and tighten the retaining screw on the USB 2 card. Put the cover back on, re-connect the power and boot-up. If it came with a driver installation disk... Windows may say it's found new hardware and ask if you want to install the drivers for it. Click NO. When boot up complete, insert the driver installation CD in to the CD drive. It should start up, then chose the required option. You may have to re-start your PC afterwards. If it doesn't come with an installation disk then follow the instructions given when Windows reports "New Hardware Found".
