Please note that installing an operating system on an OEM machine OTHER than what was factory-installed on it may void either phone support for the customized OS or the warranty itself.
Lenovo Machines, like most new OEM models are set, by default to run their hard drives in AHCI mode for better performance & power management. Go to the computer's system setup F1 or Del while the computer is starting up to locate the Power, Hard drive or System configuration (Lenovo computers have different System Setup formats for each model so you'll have to navigate around a bit since they may be labeled differently).
Once you find it, you have to change the setting from AHCI to IDE or Compatibility, whichever option is available (once again, each model has a different format & labeling convention). Save the changes & exit the setup & retry the installation. Should work.
Don't worry about "compatibility" issues. You can pretty much force Win 7 onto just about any laptop.
What you need to do is backup your files (that is if you have any you want saved)
You need to do a CLEAN install, not the UPGRADE when you boot from the Windows 7 cd.
Delete ALL of the partitions...then hit NEXT.
When it's done installing, run the updates and if you're missing any drivers after the updates post back the model of your laptop / desktop and we'll help you patch the missing ones.
I experienced the same problem when upgrading to windows 7. I lost some functionality of the touchpad buttons as well.
There wasn't any explanation for this when I checked the Acer site and the Microsoft site, except that Windows 7 doesn't support all of the old peripherals or accessories or Vista software that may have come with the Vista computers originally.
This is the closest you're going to find for a driver, and it's only for Vista 32 bit. It "should" work on Win 7 32 bit but it may not. If you're using a new computer, it's most likely Win 7 64 bit in which case your only option is to buy another printer. Sorry, it's just that Dell has felt no need to provide Win 7 drivers for this printer.
