SATA supports hotplug, so you theoretically can just pull the drives out and then shove them back in and the hardware should continue to work, but I'm surprised windows continued running without the hard drive.
Isn't really safe for the data on the hard drive, either.
My computer has the hard drive behind the same sort of panel, but it is fastened with two screws at the bottom.

Either the RAM or the WiFi card, my laptop is a slight bit newer than yours, an Inspiron 1520, and it has two panels underneath it, the RAM is under one which is fastened with one screw, the WiFi card (and an extra two slots for similar such cards) is under the other panel.
