Do you want a simple explanation of the hotswap... You need a cable hanging out of the first IDE channel of the PC...put the cd drive on the secondary IDE as master and set the pc to boot from it...while you are in the bios settings set the pc to autodetect the hdd on IDE 1 Take the IDE cable out of the back of the xbox dvd drive and boot it..wait for "ERROR 12" screen...then unplug the ide from the xbox hdd and plug the cable that has been hanging out of the back of the pc into it...then boot the PC... voila!
what is the first ide channel how do i know what that is. iv got an ide cable in my comp.that is hooked to the hard drive and a little ways down that cable is another little port thing is that the one i plug in my xbox hd (idk which ide cable to put in xbox) is it the one i just explained? ohhh b4 i forget do i plug any ide cables from xbox to the computer? and i dont know how to put the cd drive on the secondary IDE as master and set the pc to boot from it...while you are in the bios settings set the pc to autodetect the hdd on IDE

wtf why cant you access to that link? it is a stickied thread of forum "Xbox - Hardware boot discussion". You can go there manually.
