if your still here, i do have on more question, can i just completely remove the hard drive from the xbox, plug it into my pc, let the pc pick it up, use xplorer360 to transfer the files to it, then plug it back into the xbox??
if so, this could be done by putting in a bigger hard drive into the xbox as well? no?

NO. Because the hdd is lock, PC will not read it. So we use xbox to unlock then hook up to pc. That is why it calls hotswap.

dam, another question, how about if i just copy files onto a new hard drive, like original xbox files, can this be done, i am just asking because people are asking me and i am telling them what you are stating, which makes sense, all of it, a new hard drive is unlocked right, so by putting either original files or modified ones, then shoving into xbox, will it recognize it?

No you did not understand. when you boot the xbox up, the big green X will show up (hdd still not unlock yet). Then the ms logo will appear under the big X. Now hdd is unlock. Also now you disconnect the IDE cable from xbox hdd, then connect the one from pc to xbox hdd.
REMEMBER THE HDD IS STILL LOCKED IF YOU DISCONNECT IDE CABLE TOO EARLY. DO NOT TURN OFF XBOX DURING THIS PROCESS. UNLESS PC CAN'T READ XBOX HDD.

Once, xplorer360 can see the xbox hdd, you can transfer ms dash it. It just like windows explorer. Drag and drop to copy. When you done, close the xplorer360. CONNECT THE XBOX HDD BACK TO XBOX. THEN TURN OFF THE XBOX SO XBOX CAN RELOCK THE HDD. IF you dont do this, your hdd fuck up.

i have followd that, i even did a new hard drive, then put it in non-working xbox, getting an error 09, my undrstanding of this error is that hard drive is to small, it was only a 6 gig seagate! if i had a bigger one, i would try but i dont, being reason i am trying with the one that is locked!
