Between your first post and this you seem to confuse Operating Systems.
Software written for Microsoft will not work on Linux OR Mac natively.
Therefore CD with drivers will not work with Linux unless Linux is
listed in the supported OS.   Linux does however have several
alternative equivalent software.

Since it would appear you are extremely new to Ubuntu/Linux we will
guide you to quite a bit of reading to help you through the learning
curve of a new OS.  Also, let us know what you found on your own in the
various search engines such as Google.  We can help verify and clarify
information you find.  To start read:
