Figured it out. This laptop isn't accessed through the lower body but the keyboard is removed to gain access to the internal components. There is no need to remove any screws or extra drives in order to do this. There are two small pieces at the base of the lcd display that come off very easy when the screen is pushed all the way back. From there the keyboard comes off and six screws are removed. This releases a panel that covers the harddrive and all other components installed.
