This is intended to go in the desktop case in place of the old floppy drive.

I thought you said your mobo did not have a FloppyDriveController?

If you can enable the FDC, just put the LS-120 in place of the floppy, pinned as slave & in second position on the IDE cable.

EDIT: Sorry! Don't need an FDC when one uses an LS-120. It works on an IDE channel.

The standard floppy drive was left in the case when I rebuilt the computer. I changed the motherboard, power supply, CD RW, etc. The new motherboard had no floppy controller, so it just sits there.

Swap it out for an LS-120.
I'm fairly certain it'll work because it's on an IDE channel, and Windows 7 has no problem with IDE drives.
It just reports in as a floppy.

Unless you have two peripherals already on your one IDE?

I pulled my LS-120 from my XP machine; pinned it master and hooked it up to the Primary IDE channel on one of my Windows 7 pc's (sata drive is boot h/d in here).

Windows 7 installed it in about 2 seconds, and was reported in as floppy disk drive A:
Inserted three diskettes, and read them all.

Garf, it works and will give you a chance to use floppies at very fast speeds.
