hi mate,

Basically you want to look into whats called a HOTSWAP.. There are plenty of topics in our forums here if you search or you can use the tutorials section too.

I will link you now to the tutorial which may help you recover..
It doesnt even matter anymore whether you keep a eeprom backup unless you want to get back onto XBOX LIVE just like your original HDD.

heres some links:

HOTSWAP:recover a hd without eeprom backup:
http://www.xbox-hq.com/html/xbox-tutorials-161.html

Or if you have a backup of your eeprom info etc etc you could also follow a normal softmod upgrade hdd tutorial.

Heres some more links:

Install Larger Hard-Drive into SoftModded Xbox:
http://www.xbox-hq.com/html/xbox-tutorials-185.html

upgrading a softmodded xbox with a bigger hd:
http://www.xbox-hq.com/html/xbox-tutorials-150.html

upgrade hd with a pc (softmods):
http://www.xbox-hq.com/html/xbox-tutorials-153.html

Im sure all those tutorials will keep you out of trouble.. Anyway. Enjoy the site and the guys hanging about.. We are all friendly and here to help

cya
