Luckily hard drives aren't too expensive. Chances are since it's only about a year old it'll have a SATA hard drive in there. You can get 2.5" SATA hard drives reasonably cheap, I got a 320GB one for about £40 a couple of months ago, I believe they're a bit cheaper now depending what size you want.
