Hi, your laptop has an IDE interface for it's hard drive, not a SATA interface so you can just take your pic of laptop IDE drives. It is usually just one or two screws holding it in and once undone the drive just slides out. The hard drive in there at the moment has a little adaptor on it which just slides off, but be careful it is quite a tight fit so be careful not to bend any pins.

To see what I am on about with the adaptor and to check any other part numbers you might want take a look here -
