They're usually not too difficult to locate. there's several panels on the underside of the laptop. Remove each one until you get the right one. Think about the size of the panels and you won't have to remove too many before you find it. Laptop hard drives are 2.5" across, 4" long so the panel will be a bit bigger than that.

 OK OK I can't go any faster! aaaaaaaaaaaagh!

You don't usually have to take the whole case off to get to a hard drive.
You can run from a drive connected to the firewire connector, but replacing the internal drive is a better way tpo use it really.

You'll have to forgive my scepticism here.
Have you seen this for yourself, or is it what you've been told?
I've dismantled quite a few laptops and never done one yet with a difficult to access hard drive.
