If you have the EEPROM for the softmodded one, then you can format the other one so it will work on Xbox that isn't fried.

It should be located in E:/Backup/. Since were also on the subject, you make sure you have CLEAN MS dash files. Heres a wonderful tutorial on formatting a hard drive:

while i was reading the tutorial it say this will restore the hdd to normal? i have alot of information on it and only wish to take the hd from the dead xbox(starts up 3times then flashes red) and put it into anthor working soft modded xbox. Would it be easier to buy a mod chip and attempt to fix the dead xbox or remarry the hd?

I have never used a modchip, so I can't help you. But when you format a hard drive, you erase EVERYTHING on it (making it stock), and then it formats the Xbox software so it will work. Then it needs to be locked. It's worth a go to see if the dead HDD will work again, but yes everything will be erased.
