Usually you don't need "driver" on Linux they are part of kernel or are compiled as module.
Are you already using Ubuntu... on that pc ?
if no, please try the live install cd without install it and you can try yourself... if all is working.
Download the iso image and burn it on a cd from http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/8.04/

I suggest you to download the http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso

Then make a cd here the howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto

Here some common suggestion and common check to install Ubuntu:

Please make some common check using first boot menu Ubuntu live cd options...

- Please check the md5sum of your downloaded Ubuntu .iso image file, here the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM howto, and compare with http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/MD5SUMS

Please also check the md5sum of your self burned cd. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM

- then to be sure your ram is ok, boot from Ubuntu live cd main menu and at first showed menu, select the item "Memory test" to test your pc ram memory

watch this video that show howto install Ubuntu: http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/Installing_Ubuntu_with_Windows_Dual-Boot

- if something go wrong at startup of Ubuntu live installation cd you can put useful kernel boot parameters as showed here
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions

This: http://i18.tinypic.com/6tzzndc.jpg
Try to perform the "Memory test" and the "Check cd for defects" to be sure the cd is read without errors by the destination pc cdrom driver

- Booting from Ubuntu live install cd:
 * if you are in trouble with screen graphic user interface
   (usually the screen is black with a blinking cursor or screen out of range message):
- first try to dynamically change screen resolution please the press CTRL + ALT + "+" and/or CTRL + ALT + "-"
- Try to restart the graphic layer press CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE

If you are still in trouble... please reboot your pc and starting with Ubuntu live cd please try to put some common Ubuntu kernel live cd options you can find the boot options howto here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions

Remove the "splash" and "quiet" options to see more boot infos message and/or errors.
Then try some commons parameters by putting them one by one or together:
noacpi nolapic nodma all_generic_ide

If this don't work i suggest you to download and burn on a cd at lower speed you can do (4x), here an howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto, the Ubuntu alternate install cd iso image ( ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso ) you can download this cd from here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/

If you are in trouble to download you can try to install and use a torrent client Deluge http://www.deluge-torrent.org/downloads.php to get your desired Ubuntu iso image http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/8.04/ please select a .torrent file

Ubuntu min system requirements https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
Here the steps to install https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall

*** if you are installing in dual boot mode Windows + Ubuntu

Please make sure you Windows partition have no errors on it.

Booting in Windows force an a complete hard disk check.
Then reboot again in Windows and make a clean shutdown.
Be sure to boot in Windows twice and to get a clear Windows shutdown.

***

Always useful is the online Ubuntu doc https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/

Hope this helps
