This link for your unit might help. It appears the four screws on the top are used to secure the drive once you slide it into the clip area. One side of the drive should have holes that will align with these. I hope this helps, if not post back. Look down the article in the link for the remove and install hard drive area.
Hi malcom5, HERE is an link to the 531s drive replacement, and also you will need to know this when you replace your hard drive. When you see the Dell splash screen, Press F2, go into your BIOS, Highlight the drive and press enter to enable it. It would be handy to have your reinstall CD/DVD in your drive, to put windows on the drive as well, remember to press F12 to select your boot option.
