What's so hard about using FTP to install EvoX dash, and then putting a brand new HDD into the Xbox and formatting it with that? You may have to lock the drive outside of the Xbox, but possibly not with 1.0 Xbox's and tools like EEPromer and Config Magic.
Referring to the new FREE-X hack:
Hard drive swaps are still far from being easy.
ConfigMagic (and possibly eeprommer too, but I haven't used that) locks the hard drive specific to the machine. Anybody who would want to swap HDs would have to use a PC to lock the drive with their own unique code.

In addition, they would have to prepare the HD beforehand with the xbox dashboard and the hacked files so that the machine could load up unsigned code (I believe you won't be able to format/lock a new drive with evolution-x and configmagic with this hack, you would have to do that on a PC).
Somebody prove me wrong? I haven't really tried it myself, but from my experience, I don't think you can do it without a PC.
