I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 3452.
I try to install windows 7 from booteable USB but 'No device drivers were found. Make sure the installation media contain the correct drivers, and then click OK.' appers.

I tried enabling USB Debug - Same Message
HD set on AHCI - Same message
Tried to unplugged the USB and plug it in other port - same message

I even try accessing through command promp but when i try to disk list, no disk is found.

I'm honestly out of ideas...

I will appreciate any help on this matter, firts time in my life i experience this issue.

Start from here. Windows installation does not see your hard drive.
Go to BIOS, and check whether HDD is detected there.
If this is a new laptop - contact Dell support.
