Follow the instructions in my A Clean Install of Windows. These guides will instruct you in downloading Windows aswell as going through how to securely wipe your system, the install of Windows, applying OEM SLP activation, updating Windows and the installation of drivers. It will also go through installation of Dell Backup and Recovery to make new factory settings.
Thank you Philip, I have started with the Digital River ISO file and am encountering issues formatting a partition so that may be the underlying issue. I will try with an alternative disk and see if that helps.
I will post back an update to assist others with the same issue - it may be a few days to sort out a disk ...
As your system is quite a bit newer than SP1, you may need to load a SATA driver so Windows 7 can read the storage controller and hence format the drive, see here.
First thing to do is run the custom extended hard drive test in the diagnostics, not just the quick test in the Diagnostics already run. The regular diagnostics quick test can misdiagnose a failing hard.
