It shouldn't be that hard. You probably need to take covers off. Read the manual.

If you can get it out, plug it in to a pc and run a checkdisk on it to see if its working. If OK, you should be able to put it back in the laptop and install windows onto it. If not, buy a new laptop drive eg get a 1tb sshd. and install Windows on it.
Remove all drives. fit an internal speaker. Also do a cmos reset. Does it post?

If so, just put one drive in and install Windows (just one of them) on it. Does it now boot?

If not, test the drive in another pc with Checkdisk, virus scan and Seatools.
