    Getting it modded and replacing your HD will keep your original xbox dashboard intact. I have a Xenium modchip and a 200gig HD in mine and with the push of a button I can turn the modchip off and on. So if I feel like playing some Xbox Live I must turn the chip off or risk getting banned forever.The cost was only $225(canadian)for both, 2yrs. ago. I would definitely recommend getting the mod. done.

    I don't know about your HDD. Sounds like it's Toast! <=(

    But, I'd recomend you just get a Chip, and the best Firmware to match it. This will allow you to run a HDD that's not locked (i.e. Error 06 Retail Firmware Code),. This will allow you to run Slayers 2.x or Auto Installer Pro on your XBOX™. reinstalling the M$Dash to the HDD, It's probably better to then use something like BoxPlorer to update the Dash again with a current XBOX Live!™ Game again.

    In anycase Slayers should also come with Configmagic. With this Program you should be able to relock the new Drive to your XBOX™. Thuss alleviating you of any more Retail Firmware Error Codes (i.e. 05, 06 or 07),...

    Xecuter CE 3 => $55.99 + $6.95 shipping

    Western Digital 160gig hard drive => $39.99

    3 days wait for the modchip to arrive (within the states)

    30 minutes of installation

    TOTAL AMOUNT: $102.93 SAVED: $97.07 (MS charge $120 + $80)

    Conclusion: now you are free to do whatever the heck you want to with your xbox => add games to the hard drive, play backups of your original games, etc.... list goes on..and on..

    cheers
