    You cannot just swap out the original hard drive and put a new in. The hdd password has to match with the xbox motherboard.

    there is a 30 wire chip that will bypass the tsop,and you will have to mod the thing....but that's probably not what you want to do and it is a big deal doing it too.

    If I were you, it sounds like the Hard Drive is trashed. Your friend can 1 sell the remaining xbox on ebay or whatever or 2 buy a modchip and chip that thing. Also depending on what version xbox he has.
