Take the drive out and use a SATA to USB adapter like this one: Startech 2.5" SATA to USB adapter If you can reformat it and install the OS using it from another Mac then your problem is a bad HD SATA cable (which is common in this series). If it fails then you’ll got a bad unit (which is rare). Here’s the IFIXIT guide to put it in: MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Mid 2012 Hard Drive Cable Replacement and here is the part you’ll need: MacBook Pro 13" Unibody (Mid 2012) Hard Drive Cable - Apple P/N 923-0104
