make sure you have backups of both xbox eeproms,


hook up his drive to your pc,

boot into windows

get a program called liveinfo beta 2

get his eeprom.bin file

now load the eeprom.bin file into live info,  then at the bottom in the drop down menu select the hard drive that is his.


Live info will now tell you what the Hard drive password is, write it down ( make sure not to make any mistakes)


now you need a program called hdlock.exe  this program will allow you to relock the HD,

i believe theres a tutorial on the main site on how to unlock/lock your hard drives from your pc

-------------
you only have one other choice ( im assuming you have a modchip in your box
if not this wont work)

unlock your hd,

put in his hd, use config magic to update your system with his eeprom from the eeprom.bin that you saved of his box,

lock his drive,

take his drive out put it in his box make sure it works,

put your unlocked hd back in  your system, and update your eeprom back to its original before locking the drive.
