As Windows 7 is a new OS, the disc that came with an older motherboard will not have drivers specifically designed for it. The motherboard manufacturer and/or the manufacturer of any additional hardware peripherals (printer/scanner) and cards (video/tuner) you have are responsible to provide drivers for the new OS. You will have to visit their website(s), locate the necessary drivers in their download/support area, and then install them. You will need to know the specific model and sometimes serial number of the device(s). It is very possible that if a motherboard or device is very old that the manufacturer will have discontinued driver support for it. It is very important therefore to have gathered all new drivers prior to installing a new OS, or else obtain new hardware that supports it.
