No device drivers were found error, installing Windows 7 from Vista
First of all, this is my first post on this forum. (Hurray!) Only because most computer related issues I can fix myself with the help of the internet. However after trying to fix this for about 2 days now this is my last resort. Before you ask yes I have HUNTED through the internet trying to fix the issue, but most of the fixes are only specific to their computer so I've decided making a new thread would be the only other option.
So after finally getting sick of Windows Vista, I wanted to upgrade so I bought and downloaded the Windows 7 x32 .iso file and burned it at the lowest speed possible twice; once using ImgBurn, and once using InfraRecorder, after recieving the error the first time. From there I shut down my computer and rebooted it, and booted from the Windows 7 install disk. The installer then opens up and everything till I get to the language screen, where I pick my language (English US or just English, from memory.) Time and date location (English New Zealand) and default for the other (cannot remember that). From there it takes me to the next screen, where a pop up saying 'No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click ok.' pops up with three options, Ok, Cancel and Browse. From there I pretty much have to find my driver updates to continue, but it does not specify what driver I need at all and I have no idea what to do.
So far I have tried all of the solutions provided in this post, except for the USB, which my friend is bringing me shortly, hopefully that will fix it, I will edit the thread if it does or does not. But do not hesitate to reply with fixes you know will or may work, because holding back will just mean longer with the worst OS in the world if the USB solution does not work. (Slight exaggeration there, I know.)
Here the main system stats from dxdiag, post if you need me to find any more.

Oh and on a slightly irrelevant note, if you have any idea on how to speed up my computer for gaming and general browsing etc, as the best drivers are hard to find etc, don't hesitate to add that either. ^_^
Thanks in advance guys for all the help, and try to be very specific, I'm not completely computer illiterate, but it helps when you are delving into places you may have never seen before. :P
