Turn it off and remove the battery, turn it over and remove the two screws from indicated in the pic below...

Then remove the hard drive from the side by simply pulling it out, then just re-fit it by pushing it back in, replace screws and battery and try the laptop again.

If it still doesn't work then you've either got a faulty drive or a problem with the drive connector on the laptops main board.
