First you need to remove the screws from the backside of your laptop. Then you will see the batter which needs to be removed. You need to unscrew the hard drive screws and carefully remove the hard drive.

You can also follow the steps given in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-5YSPimZCk&lrm;

Hope this solution helps.
