Cannot downdate modem driver

OK, it is an old PCI modem with an unsigned driver on the accompanying
CD.
I put it in my XP system, said I had the driver on a CD, and it all
worked just fine.
Then I decided to dump the 10gig drive C and fit an 80gig one. Since I
did not know how to copy the XP system from the old drive to the new
(separate answers to this one welcomed), I did a clean install of XP.
This time, XP chose a driver during the install which was later than
the one on CD. It doesn't work, and there is no way to persuade XP to
swap the driver for the earlier working one.
I have tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling from CD, even
pulling the modem out of the system and reinstalling it several boots
later, XP ends up with the later driver whatever I do.
I guess a clean install of XP with the modem pulled would do it, after
all it worked last time, but surely there is another way ?
