To get to the HD you have to remove the front bezel. There are two plastic tabs that have to be pressed/pulled , can't remember which at the bottom of the computer. Turn it over and you will see what I mean. With the tabs operated, pull the bezel out at the bottom, the top is hooked in with tabs. There will be quite a bit of resistance from the bezel when you remove it, be careful not to damage the plastics. The HD will be visible to you with the bezel removed.

Here's a page with the take apart instructions

When you pull the front cover off it will make a *loud* cracking sound. Like Hank said, be careful and go slow. You need to apply a fair bit of force
