Go to support.dell.com, enter your service code (it's on your machine on a tag), and find the service manual. Start there. If you post any more questions, try to post more specific model info so we can look it up also.
Anyway, once you figure out the type of drive you need, we can find a place for you to pick one up. I'm guessing you need some sort of 2.5" SATA notebook hard drive.
Do you have the backups with you, what about the install disks? If you don't have the install disks with you, or media that lets you boot and restore from your backups, well, you will need to deal with that too.
