Driver lol - thats pc world.  No driver needed.
The reason it won't show up is b/c its not formatted as an Amiga drive.
To fix it you should insert your 2091 disk and format the drive using that disk.
(my case i used gvp 030 disk).  Once formatted in amiga dos youll be able to see
it.
Btw, whereabouts r u located and what version is the motherboard - reply to my
email pls.

You don't tell us what Drive interface you're using, which makes help a
little difficult.

If it's an A2091, or any newer autoconfiguring card then either there's
something wrong with it, or the drive hasn't been properly partitioned
and formatted.

If, however, it's an older card, such as an A2090 (fairly common in
older machines) you will need a boot floppy with the driver for the card
on it, and, if it doesn't support RDB (the 2090 doesn't) you will also
need a mountlist (or the files that we use these days, I forget what
they're called...) for the drive in question.

For getting the driver to your Amiga from a PC (if needed), you would
either have to set up crossdos to read PC formatted 720k floppies (tough
on a floppy only machine) set up a serial transfer between the two (but
how do you get the transfer program onto the Amiga?) or buy a catweasel
card for your PC. Or, hope a friendly Amiga user knows what disks you
need, and can send a copy through the post...

Here is a description of exactly what I have/what I'm doing.  If you could
possibly tell me what software I need and/or where I can get it so I can
begin using the harddrive, I would be enormously appreciative.  Here goes...

One of the only other disks I have that came with the computer is a disk
labeled "Amiga 2090A Hard Disk Software."  So this is what I do:

1.  I put workbench 1.2 in the drive and turn on the computer.  It then gets
me to the desktop screen.
2.  I put the Amiga 2090A hard disk software in the drive and click on the
"HDInstall" Icon.  I then click on the Install program.
3.  The computer says, "Setting up for first ..." and then it begins copying
various files.
4.  The computer asks me if I want to continue since it will delete
everything on the harddrive."  I typed in yes.
5.  The computer says "checking your mountlist" and copies more files
6.  The computer days "Mounting hard disk and initializing."
7.  The computer asks me if this is a SCSI hard disk.  (I don't know -- so I
have tried typing both yes and no, but I get the same result -- please see
#8 below for what happens)
8.  The computer says "Error -1 on open device of hddisk.device."

Accordingly, if you can suggest how the heck I can get the harddrive to work
and/or where I can get the necessary software from, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
tell me.

Thank you enormously in advance for your time/assistance.

Info about 2090:
2090:
http://www.amiga-hardware.com/a2090.html

2090A:
http://www.amiga-hardware.com/a2090.html

Things to check:
- that the hd is properly terminated.  2090A is a SCSI controller.
- size of the SCSI hard disk you are using. (is it ULTRA 2?)
anything larger than 1 gig might give u problems with the vintage C= software
(might not cover larger than 1 gb hd capacities)
- the scsi cable? (maybe its at fault?)
- the jumpers on the controller must be set correctly (see the two links above)

Concerns:
- even if you get it to work, why would u want to stick to 2090A or 2090?  2091
is way better and much better - i'm sure others might agree with me on this.
- for installation the 2090 or 2090a floppy disk should do the trick
- the controller is perhaps busted? (before you do anything await others help or
input on this)

Drivers (software for the controller):
http://www.amiga-hardware.com/cgi-bin/showdriverforum.pl
- i can download those and put them on floppy and for postage fee (ie you pay
just the postage) have it send out to you.

More importantly the 2090 won't handle more than 256MB, without using
patched firmware (also, it's SCSI/MFM, it's fairly likely to be a stock
20MB MFM disk, the way to tell is open the machine and look at the
cables, if there's one 50 pin one it's scsi, if it's 20 and 34 pin
cables, it's MFM, you'll need to know a bit about the drive later on
anyway.)

probably works, but... I've used one of these, and it isn't impossible
to set up using the instructions here
http://peach.mie.utoronto.ca/people/tsangc/a2090-10.guide I never had a
setup disk for it, just a boot disk with hddisk.device on it (I think it
lives in expansion) what you need is the datasheet for the drive you
have fitted, which isn't going to be easy unless it's from a still
living brand like Seagate, and some time to screw about with it.

Important: make copies of the boot disk and setup disk before doing
anything to them, they're the only ones you have.

Well you have the right software, and it is most probably an SCSI
drive.  My guess would be that either the hard-drive or the controller
or both are bad.  They are really ancient.  The 2090a will not boot
from a hard-disk and neither will OS 1.2, they require a boot floppy. 
Frankly, you can get a self booting 2091 for around $10.00, and you
could probably get 1.3 or 2.04 roms that will boot from a hard disk
for around the same price.  3.1 roms might cost you $25 or $30. 
Anyway, replace that controller, and get at least 1.3 roms if you want
it to work.  Probably the controller and maybe the hard-disk are
toast.  First check and see if there is a program called something
like HDToolbox on one of your 1.2 disks.  It could also be what the
guy who responded said, the hard-drive may not be prepped.  A similar
message will be given even by OS 3.9 if you try to install it on an
unprepped hard-disk.  HDToolbox may have first appeared with the 1.3
rom and OS though, I started with 1.3.3, and never used 1.2, so I
don't know.  Anyone?

I'm not sure, but it's academic in this case as HDtoolbox is useless on
an A2090 (no support for RDB, odd partitioning scheme in general).

Now, I just had a thought.

As the error is on opening hddisk.device, it's possible that it isn't on
the boot floppy, I can't remember how you're supposed to do it, but I
think the system either needs to be booted from the HD install disk, or
you need to put the hddisk.device file in the expansion drawer of your
boot disk. as I said before, work on copies, it'll be a lot easier to
fix if/when you screw up.

I echo what Mike says though, you'll find life much easier with an A2091
(though I'm more of a GVP person, they tend to be a tad more expensive)
and more recent roms.
