OT question on laptop hardware

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

I recently took ownership of my daughter's old laptop, which is a Compaq 
Presario 1800XL with a 15" TFT display. This laptop has a 6GB hard drive 
which I want to replace with a larger one. The problem is that unlike my 
other laptop, the HD is buried inside the unit. With my other drive, the 
hard drive was easy to replace (a couple of screws and it would slide out). 
I don't want to start taking it apart without some advice. I suspect that 
most of the standard laptop hard drives would fit right in. `
