It is unlocking not patching. The drive structure itself isn't altered. 
Unlocking is a data security measure on hard drives but rarely used on 
home pcs, as the drive needs a "key" before it will give you it's data.

Better to do this either second or last when the hd is actually in the 
xbox. You'd then copy it via ftp or dvdr (xboxes can't handle cdr 
without a modchip & new dvd drive).
