If it's only got four wires, it's probably a bi-polar one, these need completely different driver circuits based round H-bridges.

If you do a google search for "stepper motor tutorial" you will find plenty of sites with information about them.

But you can't convert a motor from bi-polar to uni-polar.

o.k , i'll that ....

but i have found a good driver board , abut i can't exactly find where i can wire the motors on this schematic ,so i'll scan it to view it on the computer ....
i hope then you can help and tell me where to connect my motor on this board

Here's a link I supplied for an earlier post in one of the other forums. I think it does a pretty good job in describing what steppers are, how they work, etc. Hope it helps you.
