Besides being badly written your stupid post provides absolutely no new info. In fact it could lead some people to downgrade to 4920 on 5713+ kernels giving them an xbox that cannot boot and making another hotswap even harder.

| it was quite easy actually, just more steps but easy steps all together, once you have the dash just use the simple hotswap tutorial that actually worked and if you guys don't like this have it deleted |
Have you tried ldots' xboxhdm ?
Your method involves copyright infringment and for most people it is how to unlock the HD that is hard, not rebuild the C: content.

There are much better way than his, even not running linux on PC(but if one can boot with ldots' xboxhdm, that is the best option). I can outline a simple procedure :
1. run a version of linux(ldots' ltools for example) on a modded Xbox.
dd if=/dev/hda51 of=/tmp/cdrive.img bs=100M
2. either zip it or copy it directly to the PC through ftp
3. go to http://www.cygwin.com and install it, make sure to install the "dd" package
4. now hotswap as usual, then start the cygwin bash shell and do the following :
$ dd if=/ftp/cdrive.img of=/dev/sda seek=4501 bs=512K
I am not too sure about the 4501 number and bs number(need to check). sda is primary, sdb is slave etc.
The same procedure can be used to duplicate the whole disk. The new disk is now modded too. Now just make sure the kernel likes whatever modd is there. But like you said, blindly doing this kind of thing can be harmful but it is a way to rebuild a Xbox HD(from another working modded Xbox), all under Windows(not 98/ME as that won't work). The same procedure can be used to make a zipped copy of a virgin C: image when first running a game save and save it.
I am not sure if ATAPWD is a windows program or not. If it is, one can even do this to upgrade a HD, all from within Windows as just lock the disk after the mirroring and viola, time to install.
So for people who can run xboxhdm, use it(together with ldots ltools). For those who feel alienated by linux, this can be an alternative.
