Hard Drive Wiped, Need Fresh Install

[cadams77]

I have a dell latitude e6410 and somehow the drive got wiped and I am trying to install Windows 7 32bit using a bootable usb, but it keeps asking me to insert installation media, which I do not have. Also, I have the option to upgrade, but cannot do that and have to use custom install. I downloaded some drivers for the computer and put them on another usb, but it keeps saying no drivers found and I cannot install windows without them apparently. Anyone know how to fix this?

Do you have your BIOS set to boot from USB.

If you have a bootable USB, then you do have install media. Assuming it was created correctly.
Can that machine boot from the USB? Not all can.

Secondarily, do you have a license key to install with?

I do have the licence key, but I haven't even gotten that far. When the computer starts I press F12 to choose a boot option and pick usb and then it takes me to the windows install where I can choose upgrade or custom. I then have to use custom and it says I do not have drivers. I know the bootable usb is set up correctly and I assume this machine can do it since I have gotten this far with it.

Sounds like something went bad with the Bootable USB data. I'd try remaking the USB stick. If you cant even get to the point where it asks for your license key then there is something wrong with the data on the USB drive.
