So. The laptop has crashed.
Think the hardrive is broken.
Is it hard to change it on your own? and what hardrive should I buy?
Is it a usual 3,5" disk or is it a 2,5" disk?

(I have put together ordinary computers before so I´m not completely new to this stuff)

    What type of notebook?

    Good time to upgrade to a larger and faster 7200 RPM drive.

    Seagate makes a solid product.

    Simple to install, just make sure it is ONLY the drive. That would suck if it was more and with notebooks it gets to the point where a total replacement would be a better option.

    laptops / notebooks tend use 2.5",

    if the laptop is a few years old you must check if its a PATA or SATA one, (best way is to take it out and take it to a store.

    and to be honest, stick with a 5400 rpm drive, otherwise your laptop will overheat like fuck
    We did not change as we grew older; we just became more clearly ourselves.
