as it's a fairly new latop it will have a SATA hard drive, so pretty much any SATA 2.5 inch hard drive should be fine...

Reinstalling it is another matter! if you have the recovery discs it's easy, if not a call to Toshiba may be in order, they might supply the recovery media (for a small price) but if not you either need to find install media that matches the COA...

He's knackered the hard drive!

Your best bet would be to buy a new hard drive and re-install it from the recovery media you either got, or created, when you first got it.
OH, but do remove the hard drive and re-fit it just in case it's just dislodged the connection to it..

(it will be under a panel on the bottom)
