    There shouldn't be any driver needed for the hard drive to work.
    Here are the possibilities:

    1. The hd needs to be setup (partitioned/format) in the computer management.
    2. Your hd is broken.
    3. You broke the connector of your notebook.
    4. It really does need a driver which I never heard of.
