I do not want to play on xbox live!!! I bought a 250gb western digital harddrive. My mother board is already modded up with a softmod ( note I do not have a chip) . Does my new hard drive have to be LOCKED to burn games onto it? And if I do need to lock it in order to use it (to burn games on it) can the new version of evox lock it without going through the eeprom/hd key etc?

I'm not a softmod expert, but i think all softmods need a locked hdd to boot the ms dash. I'm not sure with this new SID 4.0/4.5.
No, to burn games your hdd can be unlocked or locked. And yes, evox can lock and unlock the hdd. _________________

most softmods are loaded throught font exploits (at least all new ones) so therefor a locked hdd is needed for a softmod to run, since it must go through all steps to archive it's load.
the softmod will take place after the xboxdash.xbe is the one we exploited to load a hacked font, usually ernie.xtf that will patch code and load a habibi signed .xbe (now days nkpatcher) that will either load up a bios on the memory or patch the current kernel(bios) to allow us to run the goods.
a chipped xbox can run an unlocked hdd, since the flashed bios will be some hacked one, and will not need to run most of the M$ checks. _________________ Xbox v1.1
