Question Laptop hardware installs?

My cousin just contacted me wanting to know how to install a harddrive in his laptop. Never dealing with laptops I decided to post online for help.

So help please?

What model is the laptop specifically?
If it's relatively recent, it should be as simple as removing a couple of screws, replacing the drive in the caddy, and putting it back.

Does he have the manual that came with it? Manuals usually come with instructions on where the drive is located and how it can be removed or replaced.

And when all else fails:

www.Google.com

"replacing xxxx laptop hd"

Where xxxx is his brand of laptop.

Drop us a model number and we can fill in the blanks.

Thought for the new millenium:
