    Trying to do a fresh install of Win7 x64 on my son-in-laws M4400. The install does the first part where it expands files then reboots but during the completing installation phase it gives an error message saying Windows can't be installed with this hardware.
    Downloaded all the Win7 drivers I could find from dell's site but when I try to have the Win7 install load additional drivers, it keeps telling me it can't find any signed drivers. I'm guessing it's a chipset driver issue that is stopping the install?

    SOLVED- disabled the Intel rapid Restore tech in the BIOS then tried the install again and this time it worked.
