Anyway, hard disk serial information looks to be scrambled on the disk itself, so it isn't possible to just make an image and transfer it to the new harddrive. This has been tested before. I think BS.

More Xbox 360 HD Storage
I recently opened the Xbox 360 hard drive to find a cheap Samsung 20 GB Serial ATA notebook hard drive. I took a ghost image of the hard drive, threw it on my computer using the motherboard (which is SATA compatible). I then went to CompUSA and bought a Serial ATA Western Digital 200 GB Notebook Hard drive and plugged that into the computer and uploaded the image, which was only 18.33 MB. Afterward, I connected it to the specially made SATA cable, and boom - I have 200 GB storage for my Xbox 360! This voids the old hard drive, but please pass it on that 20 GB is not enough!

I would think that if it was that easy, more people would have already done it and it would be all over the place!

That was my first thought...way too easy and I would think that at the least the Linux team has tried that. For Xbox there is a tutorial for cloning a HD for backup or use in another Xbox...tutorial; still requires a modchip.

2. You don't need a notebook hard drive, they make desktop hard drives in SATA as well...
3. The only reason you needed a modchip for Xbox 1 hard drive swapping was to lock and unlock the drive. The Xbox 360 drive isn't locked (because it's swappable) so theoretically you wouldn't need that.
4. I still think the method is BS... you computer can't ghost what it can't see and without the recently released custom drivers (which they made no mention of) your computer wouldn't be able to see the drive or the content.
