If you have the eeprom file saved you can boot to the xboxhdm locking utilities, unlock the drive, reboot and install, and then reboot again and lock it.

in the hotswap tut, it says your pc needs to have 2 ide cords. i did what it said anywaay and turned the pc on and it said Operating System Not Found instead of that other crap.
