So I have a 1.0 with a dead HDD, I used PiPROM to recover the eeprom.bin so I can build a new drive. Is there a tutorial somewhere on adding a softmod directly to the new drive before I lock it?

That's exactly what XboxHDM23USB Beta 3 does.  Preps a new hard drive with the Xbox Softmodding Tool no-original-game-disc-required bootable installer.

Place a copy of the eeprom.bin file you read with PiPROM in the folder where you extract XboxHMD23USB Beta 3 to. The batch file to start the application, xboxhd.bat, is in the folder where it needs to go.

Connect the new HDD to your Windows PC with a compatible USB-to-HDD interface adapter.  Run the application using the xboxhd.bat file in Windows Explorer (double-click on it), answer any Windows security prompts as required, then select menu option 2, Launch xboxhdm.  Follow the onscreen instructions to prep the new hard drive.  Exit xboxhdm.  Lock the drive. Exit XboxHDM23USB Beta 3. Disconnect the hard drive from the PC then install it in the Xbox.  Boot the console to start the softmod installer.  Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation of the softmod.

The only issue I had with the process is that my usb to ide adapter isn't fully supported and I had to modify lockhdd.bat and unlockhdd.bat by adding "-d sat" to all of the smartctl commands:

lockhdd.bat

@Echo off & SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion & mode con:cols=80 lines=35 
smartctl.exe -d sat -g security /dev/sd%1

smartctl.exe -d sat -s security-eeprom-setpass,..\eeprom.bin /dev/sd%1
echo Press any key to continue

pause > nul

unlockhdd.bat

@Echo off & SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion & mode con:cols=80 lines=35 
smartctl.exe -d sat -g security /dev/sd%1

smartctl.exe -d sat -s security-eeprom-unlock,..\eeprom.bin /dev/sd%1

smartctl.exe -d sat -s security-eeprom-disable,..\eeprom.bin /dev/sd%1

echo Press any key to continue

pause > nul
