Question About Backing Up My Og Hdd?

[bulkchart32]

i've made a few posts in here about my og original xbox and how it has sentimental value to me. i know the hdd will eventually fail on it as all hdd's eventually do. i was thinking of using the softmod exploit just to enable ftp so that i can copy the entire hdd and the eeprom key to my pc. my question is, is there any possible danger in doing this? is it possible that the exploit can mess up my xbox? after i'm finished backing everything up, i want the xbox to be in the same condition it was before i did this. btw, it is a v1.6 and has no mod on it.

I have been able to able to read and write to a completely stock Xbox hard drive via FTP by only adding 1 game save and then launching the mechassault game and it is not modifying the contents of the hard drive, If you delete the game save it's the same as before you started 100% stock.

 

This pic was taken on a completely stock version 1.6

 

The other method would be fit a modchip to the Xbox the hard drive was in then you can unlock the hard drive and connect it to a computer and copy any and all of the drive using FATXplorer or save the entire drive as image file if you wanted.

The 2nd method is the easiest as the mechassault game that works with the xploit is hard to find. It needs to be the NON Live enabled version.

Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.
