Just take out the retail drive, install your new drive, then run SID 3. Bingo, halleluja.

If I understand the softmod process... it's easier to do it that way than put in a new hd later. Hang on and let me sniff some old forum entries and lets see what I find. I haven't softmodded yet, so I may have to stand corrected.

According to http://www.xbox-hq.com/html/postt8730.html you can get the new HDD ready before installation on your pc. Check that thread out.
I will search for the tutorial and edit this post.
This should work for both retail and new HDD.

Softmods require locked HDDs. You would have to backup the eeprom of the new box. In order to do that it needs to be softmodded. No biggie though just back up the retail dash, save the eeprom info, and restore the disk to orig.
Then you can go ahead with the new HDD tutorial.

Woo Hoo Dangermouse to the rescue.
I have said it before and I'll say it again... I have got to stay out of the softmod forums.
