So you use capital letters in the model number but not at the start of your sentence and you leave out a question mark? At least have the courtesy to do those small things... turn your computer on, listen to where the whirring sound comes from, and look for a slight outdent (is there such a thing?) and see if there is a screw around that area. Before I can assist any further, it would be easier if I could see a picture of the underside of your computer.

Get an anti-static wrist strap, take out the old HDD, add the new, reinstall Windows, have a blast.

^ that is the first step.

Then you need to put in an OS disc. Change the boot order in the bios to boot off of the optical drive. Then install windows on the new HD. After windows is installed and booted, check the device manager for conflicts and install the needed drivers.
