No, a softmodded system still requires the HDD to be locked.  However, you know the HDDKey value - 32 0's - to be able to lock it with an eeprom.bin file you either download from the softmodded system or create with the LiveInfo Windows application.

Easiest method to install a new SATA HDD is to use Chimp 261812 .  Download the archive, extract and upload the E partition files to the Chimp folder (or Apps\Chimp folder).

Youtube video tutorials:

 

 
 

 

The first video shows all the steps. The last two are included to show the updates made to the user interface after the first tutorial was made

Item List:

1. SATA HDD up to 2TB

2; Molex Y power splitter

3. 80-wire 40-pin high-speed IDE cable (24 inches long)

4. Compatible IDE-to-SATA interface adapter.  Must have a MASTER/SLAVE jumper setting to use Chimp for cloning.

 

I suggest the StarTech IDE2SAT2 adapter however any other Marvell 88SA8052 bridge controller-based adapter will work just as well.  These are not the least expensive adapters but many have had problems using the $5 adapter (many are delivered non-functioning so more than 1 needs to be ordered to make sure you get 1 onat works.)
