Windows 7 Clean Install Alienware 18

Hello All,

I'm trying to clean install Windows 7 on an Alienware 18 laptop. I disabled Secureboot in the BIOS to get the Windows 7 install disk to load, however I am unable to have it recognize the Drives, I can't seem to find the right Driver on the Dell support site, any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    thanks, I found my Windows 8.1 Install disk, was able to turn Secureboot and UEFI back on and get it loaded. Thanks.
