Insprion 1525 Dead HDD

So yeah rather conveniently the hard drive in my Dell Inspiron 1525 has to decided to die (warranty expires tomorrow FYI

)(Hdd makes clicking noises, gives "a disk read error occurred" and refuses to load windows)

Is it just a matter of unscrewing the casing holding the current drive and popping a new drive in? I'm going to assume that Dell doesn't force me to use a proprietary drive?
