Hi dellus,
Welcome to Seven forums.
You should not be getting this message if you are using the disks supplied by us:
Request Backup Disks
Please check these links below and download them to a USB storage drive:
Driver Details | Dell US
Driver Details | Dell US

Then connect and load all the drivers and it should be able to install the windows on the system.
Kindly update your system specs here by following this.
Keep us posted with the results so we can advise you further.
The error almost always means a bad installer. Where did you get the ISO and how was it written to stick. Start over using the latest official ISO for your licensed version, written to stick with tool in Steps 1 and 2 of Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7.
Everything needed to get and keep a perfect install is compiled in the tutorial, same for retail.
thank you the problem is solved. thank you gregrocker and
