ok i have recently been upgrading my computer and now i have all the spare part left over...so i was thought i would rebuild it and have another computer but what i want to know is does the restore cd that came with the old computer contain the old motherboards driver?

Probably not if it was a manyfacturer supplied restore disk. It probably won't even run.
I guess restore disk check the BIOS and motherboard type and will only continue if the disk has been created for that manufacturer/machine type.

Also the OS/Key supplied with the restore disk would only be legal on your old PC. You'll have to buy a new Windows licence.
