You don't need drivers for Firewire, as long as your OS is up to date with its own drivers. That's the thing about some connectors on computers now. You may have the socket on the computer but there may be nothing attached to it on the inside. You can check in the Device Manager, this is for Windows XP, System->Hardware->Device Manager and look for IEEE 1394 Bus Host Controllers. If this is listed then you have Firewire installed, if it isn't listed then you need to purchase a PCI Firewire card and fit it into a spare PCI slot inside the computer.
