I am going to try and install Windows 7 32bit to see if that works.

I got this...

Check your Bios settings for AHCI & what options ?

Sorry bro, but when it comes to Ahci settings and how to reach them, they are way out of my league. I read the link but didn't see instructions as to how to reach the settings.

Looks like the 64 bit drivers will be hard to find. Dell doesn't list any for the Inspiron 1721.
Your 32bit ATI Serial ATA Storage/RAID driver.
Down load and install these driver, only if your BIOS is currently set to AHCI or RAID.
If your BIOS is not set to one of these your computer will show a blue screen error.
EDIT:
If you check the Dell Community Forum, you will have a good chance to find the 64 bit drivers you need, just do a search.

Yes I know they don't offer. I even got a call from Coporate after threatening to sue. All the guy kept saying is, "We recommend you use 32bit for now because the 64 bit drivers have not been tested and I have no idea when they will be release." They have them but won't release them.
I do not why he kept recommending me to use the 32 bit drivers.
Then I get a call about a week later leaving a Voicemail. "I apologize that we do not have the 64 bit drivers. If it makes you happy the Windows 7 32 bit driver will be released early 2010, maybe January or Febuary. Again I apologize I have tried everything I can about the 64 bit drivers but they will not release them.
On the other hand, I have a guy who found them all for me and uploaded them to a private page of his own if you would like to check and see if they are the right ones.

Re-start your computer.
When the black boot screen comes up in the lower right corner it will say F2 for BIOS.
Repeatedly press F2, you should get into the BIOS.
If not re-start and try it again.
Look in Advanced Settings, SATA, you will see what its setting is.
It should be: IDE, AHCI or RAID.
Tell us what it is.
