First, I would put Krazie's Ndure 1.1.1 on there. Unless you are going to use Raincoat purely to softmod and TSOP.

You can build a USB adapter for the Xbox and use it to transfer the files from one of the modded Xbox consoles.

There are many tutorials on here on how to build an Xbox to USB adapter.

you can also hotswap to a hardmodded xbox, or use xboxhdm to access an HD after hotswap on a pc (its a bootable app, so it doesnt matter what OS you have)

If you are going to continue doing this, use Krazie's Ndure 1.1.1 to softmod with. It is more up to date and is more stable than SID.

well hotswapping is always tricky, and not something i recommend relying on if you mod a lot of xboxes, but its good for emergencies

to hotswap to a hardmodded (chipped or TSOP'd) xbox put a slayers, AID or other rescue cd in the hardmodded box's dvd drive and turn it off, then unplug the HD

the unplug the unmodded box's DVD drive (unplugging the DVD drive forces an error 12, which leaves the HD unlocked longer than normal, making the hotswap easier) and turn it on, when it boots to the error screen unplug the IDE from the HD and plug it unto the modded box's IDE (leave the power plugged in to the unmodded box and leave it turned on)

turn on the modded box, and if all went well and the gods are smiling, it will boot the rescue cd and allow FTP access to the unmodded HD, so you can FTP the softmod

once the softmod is installed turn everything off, reassemble the components in their respective xboxes and and backup the eeprom from the newly-softmodded box for future use and/or building a new large HD
