Will this work? I have XBMC installed, the EEPROM files wont screw with anything? So if they pop in the hdd, it will just play like any other?

Im not sure what your asking but lets see if this helps if not post me back.
Ok here is what i guess your asking if you pull the hdd out of your modded xbox and slap it in someones xobox will it work well is thare xbox modded? if not then no.
Do you have thare eeprom code? his xbox wont use your xbox eeprom.
Is this what you are talking about?

Hmm, confusing.
I have a NON-Modchip'ed xbox, i have a western digital hard drive from fry's electronics in there, if i pulled that hard drive, and put it in another xbox, would it work ok in the other persons xbox? (lets just say that their xbox had a modchip)

He wold need to take your eeprom off put his on.
I am not 100%sure that wold even work the hdd and motherboard are a set pair.
If his is modded he wold be better off getting a new hdd and setting it up his self.

If the other bpx is chipped, couldnt he just unlock it and pop it in? I dont know if he could put it back in his unchipped box without rebuilding the hdd though. _________________

No i get that and all i just am not 100% sure that it wold go so better safe then sorry.
If his box is modded for sure he can run it he might need to format and start from scratch i just was not for sure.
I wasent trying to say your a scammer or anything.

Hmm, but if his xbox is NOT modded, it is nothing but a retail xbox, are you SURE that this will not work? Does someone on this board know? Just wonderin.
And to keep my money, i will send two of the buyers cd's to install the softmods so that they can send me their eeproms, and i will load them on.

now my xbox was once modded (soft mod)... and i accidently unmodded it... and just recently i decided to remod it with another soft mod... that failed and i think i unlocked the hard drive... im pretty sure... then it would start up and give me the error thing that i needed to contact microsoft... then after a while it wouldn't even give me a screen just black now...
ok so i decided that maybe i could buy one off of ebay... not to bad of an idea cause they aren't that expensive... so he has the hard drive that is 8gb and has xbmc... now i need to know how to hack my drive on my pc because when i hook it up it freezes... now i was told that i have to have it hooked up to the xbox then turn it on with the drive in it and switch the drive over to the pc only changing the gray cable not the power.... then boot up the pc with the linux stuff i have to lock and unlock it but it still freezes... so he told me to put it on master and change it to cable select... now im just waiting on instructions to do this and how to get the eeprom off of it... i am using my original hard drive ... im waiting on the one from ebay it's shipping... can you all help? it would be very appreciated and i don't have a mod chip but i can get one if i need it... i would like to play xbox live but also be able to play ripped games ... thus 2 drives helps.... i just need to make them compatible and both work... one with the mod and the original with the soft mod..... tyvm for reading...
