Push tabs/knobs and while doing that push/pull/lift the cover abit. Once its loose, the rest should follow w/o holding tabs/buttons. Make sure no screw(s) are locking down that cover, it may only be one screw if any. I too many times finding opening some(any maker) cases a hassle and relearn again and again how its done, so don't be discouraged, sometime a good smack is required. Did you check with Sony support website for your model# and see what it takes, try looking for upgrade advise for replacing HD(just look) to see what they mention.

tada -----Willy happy

I have this desktop where you rip the front off (it's quite hard to dislodge) and then the side panel slides forward instead of most where they slide back.
