If you really can't get the appropriate drivers from Lenovo, just press the little One Key Recovery button next to the power button. Follow the instructions on doing a factory reset. This will reset all your partitions to factory partitions. After doing a factory reset, back up all the files from the "Lenovo D:/ drive" as this drive includes all the installation drivers that came with the laptop (except for the EE boot optimizer version 0.0.1.5 which you can find at Lenovo forums). You can now wipe the primary partition and clean install without any hiccups.

Would it not be simpler to just inform the Lenovo website you're not happy and get it replaced?

Lenovo support told me to do a clean restore. Did it and Windows won't install like it's supposed to, guess I'm getting a replacement now.

I used the OneKey recovery like the tech support asked me to. Booted it up and it should have installed Windows but did not. I told the guy the error I got and he said they would get me a new model.

That's your best bet anyway. Did you tell them you reinstalled Windows 7?

I tried everything. I told the tech support guy everything that I did, he guided me through restoring and said that when I booted it up it should install Windows because it did a recovery to the system defaults. So the model must be defective and they're going to send a new one.

Good news chmod I mean just about everything that has been suggested has been exhausted. Just goes to show that sometimes - not so much in your issue that we tend to look for more complicated stuff than it actually turns out to be.
Well I'd be a lair if I said I wasn't guilty of that and well we live and learn isn't that what it's all about ?:)
