i have an 80gb seagate hdd that i want to install in my box, my friend has a box that is showing error 16, i have tried hotswapping his hdd but i get to the point where it asks me to enter "xboxhd" as a login to run the script that will rescue the drive, then it tells me that it cannot find device, i think his drive is fubared, my question is will i be able to install my old hdd in my friends box after i have installed the bigger drive in my own box? hope this isnt confusing, get back to me if you need any more info, cheers in advance.

If you have a backup on your PC of his eeprom.bin file then you ok. All you would do is unlock your stock drive with configmagic before replacing it with your larger HDD. You then need to use xboxhdm to lock the stock drive with his eeprom. That should fix his error.
If you don't have his eeprom.bin and you can't hotswap, you will have to buy a chip for it. _________________ Hotswap|HDD Upgrade|X3 Guide

Is your friends xbox able to load stuff like AID... If it does, you can backup the HDD then format it and install the stuff you require using AID. _________________

If you unlocked his xbox and locked it with some password that you don't know you'll have a hell of a time with it.
