Error message installing WIndows 32bit on T530

Question

I have a T530 laptop that I am trying to install WIndows 7 32-bit version from an ISO but I get the following error message right after I click the "Install" button during setup.
"A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD or USB flash drive, please insert it now."
I can not get past this to perform the install.  I have checked several forums and some stated to make sure the CD/DVD rom was placed first in your startup devices (check), pull drivers from lenovo website and try to point the set up to the device drivers (check),  try to redownload the ISO file (check), make sure you have your SATA settings to AHCI (check), try using a USB-DVD ROM (check).  Has anyone else seen or have been able to resolve this issue?
SIde note: I have tried install Windows 7 64-bit edition and it installed fine on the same machine.

Hi ncook6, welcome to the forum,
Do I read your post correctly that you are trying to install from an USB drive? 
If so have you inserted the USB drive in an USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port?  When installing from USB you must use a USB 2.0 port; Win 7 doesn't have the USB 3.0 drivers, but it does have them for 2.0.
