Replacing dell studio 17 HDD.

[TheCAD]

Will any 2.5" HDD do?

I appreciate any recommendations(200GB+ preferred).

Mostly I want to know to to get the old one out and put the new one in.
Do I take the screws out on the bottom?

I have no idea how to get the case open, never done anything on a laptop before....but my harddrive bricked when I slammed screen shut....

Just about any 2.5" SATA laptop drive will do. And no, a Velociraptor drive will not fit. I recommend this hard drive since it's one of the best bang for the buck 2.5" 7200RPM drive out there:

Anyway, hit up Dell.com for instructions on how to replace/upgrade the hard drive.
