    unless his drive is unlocked already no, it would need to be unlocked in his box (with his EEPROM) or via XBOXHDM with his EEPROM.

    why would i need to unlock his drive? could i still use his original ms dash and forget about installing other dashes, xbmp etc? or would my xbox just give me a hard drive error (7,8 or 9)

    his drive is locked with his EEPROM (the key to the lock) and your box wont use the drive at all untile you unlock it with his key.
