Yes, if it is ATA/133... Others models may work, but you'll just have to test it and see if it does.

You will need your Xbox modified in some way if you plan on using that HD in your Xbox.

Yup, your HD has to be locked to use Xbox Live. Also, if you try to startup your Xbox w/ your hard drive not locked and your modchip disabled, you will be getting error 5's all day long.

A little piece of advice for you...

If you have created an Xbox Live account on your original Xbox HD, and then put in an upgraded HD and go onto Xbox Live w/ that, you will be banned w/in a few weeks. This is known as the "marriage theory". If you want to learn more about the "marriage theory" search the Xbox-Scene forums.
