First of all, do you have a modded xbox? There are tons of great tutorials here, http://www.xbox-scene.com/tutorials.php You need to have a hard drive that is capapable of being locked to boot the MS dash. The hard drive has the files needed to boot the MS dash and run your xbox, so just slapping a new, empty, unlocked drive will do nothing.
