I have come across an xbox that has had no modding done to it and the HDD is fried in it. I want to mod the xbox but I don't really know where to begin(never modded anything!). I have another xbox(unmodded). From what I have read on this site and others the HDD is linked to the the xbox that it came out of. I don't want to invest anything in repairing it if I don't have to. Do I need to have it operating before I can mod it? Can I somehow use my other xbox to help mod the broken one? My working xbox is v1.0 and the broken one is unknown(don't physically have it yet). PLEASE HELP!
