The hard drive aint flashed, its the xbox iirc.

So you should be ok.

don't see the point in flashing and risking getting caught and banned.

It's not the hard drive, or the XBox that is flashed.
Your DVD drive inside the XBOX is flashed.
but the thing that gets banned is your XBOX's serial number.

You can get an unbanned xbox serial number (I can sort you out)
then JTAG your xbox and write the unbanned serial to the banned xbox's motherboard and it will be unbanned.

You need to have JTAG'able dashboard to be able to do this!

Your banned one will most likely be on a slightly older dash (one which disabled the hard disk). Search xbox-scene for what was disabled on your console when it was banned.


You could update the dash on the banned console by usb stick and hard disk will be fine but you would loose the ability to play divx etc as you won't be able to redownload the optional media update.
