Above is the website for your laptop's manual. It should give reference information for hard drive installation.

TRY CLEANING LASER LENS with canned air & IF THIS DOESNT HELP RESTORE COMPUTER WITH RESTORE DISC THAT CAME WITH SYSTEM AFTER THAT IF NO DIFFERENT RESULTS I SUPECT THE CD/DVD ROM DRIVE IS BAD

Hi,
If you have disassembled your toshiba unit, and you are somewhat new in electronics, you cannot see the battery similar to other PC, bcoz its battery is somewhat soldered, and the only things you migt notice is its two colored wire (black and red) attached to a round, flat, insulated (wrapped with insulation) battery.
