Yes and No. The HDD has to be signed to the xbox in order for it to work. The only way to get the HDD signed is either by installing a Modchip and signing it with config magic or doing the Hotswap method. Good Luck:)

Not entirely true. You dont need a mod chip to upgrade your hard drive if you dont want to, softmod it. The only thing you need it your EEPROM. Follow this tutorial. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/533828. You get error 5 because the drive is not locked. Just replace the stock hard drive back into the xbox and backup your eeprom onto your pc. Don't hotswap nor unplug anything while the xbox is on. You only hotswap if you don't have a eeprom backup on your pc because the xbox no longer boots a dashboard. You don't need to hotswap its erroneous advice, you are only upgrading.

Please hoping, did you backup your eeprom? Before or after a softmod you must backup that important archive. If you didn?t you will need to build an eeprom reader/writer. Click on chuckhead's sig.
