Toshiba Satellite A305-S5857 Hard Drive Driver?

Question

I got a laptop Toshiba Satellite A305-S5857 that apparently crashed and no longer boots up so I am trying to install a clean Windows 7 Ultimate Version. However getting ready to install Windows 7 Ultimate Version, it says unable to detect hard drive. I didn't see any hard drive and I click browse and still no hard drive listed or found on Windows 7 installation. I am assuming the previous owner deleted or wipe out the hard drive driver so now it won't boot up or work. Can anyone help me find the hard driver for this laptop model. Thanks.

I just check the bios and it says Hard drive: None.
Does that mean it could be a loose cable.

The driver is installed when Windows is installed.

Check the BIOS screen and see if the BIOS even recognizes the hard drive. No driver is needed for this.

If not, it could be a loose data cable or power cable.

Edit No hard drive listed in the BIOS could mean a loose cable or that the drive is shot.

Bear in mind that the hard disk may have completely failed, which lead the previous owner to sell it.
