Softmod stopped working after unplugging

It gets error 12, which I think is the clock error, but with this shitty exploit, the xbox won't let me reach that point to set it. As far as I know, using the xbox itself is done unless I get it chipped or buy the parts for an eeprom reader. Buying another xbox is cheaper and easier, but I want to know if I can unlock the HDD that was in it without erasing or formatting it. It's a Seagate 300GB.

Also, when I get the next xbox, I want to do an exploit, and I have a chipped xbox that works fine, so I can put a memory save to a memory card. Which game is easier (if it matters), the 007 game or the splinter cell game? I have the Hexen disc and the Ndure disc, though I've never had a use for them until now. Assuming I can get the xploit going in the new xbox, (and I get the eeprom from this one since I know to do that now), can I lock the Seagate HDD to this xbox and keep the stuff currently in it?

Nvm. It's solved.
