CLONE EXISTING HD
In the welcome screen type "3" and press enter, xbxohdm will list available drives attached with primary and secondery ide cable:
in my case my formatted xbox hd is attached with primary master, cd-drive with primary slave and another new blank hd with secondery master. so to start cloning first you have to enter your xbox hd's address in my case its "hda". so type "hda" and press enter. from the picture you can see theres another hard drive attached to secondery slave and its "hdc" so enter "hdc" as destination drive and press enter. Now it will ask for confermation. type "yes" and press enter and ur hd will be cloned.
note: cloning takes extremely long time and there is no progress indicator.. wait around 2-3 hour to clone a complete 120gb drive. For cloning stock drives, it takes abouta hour.
now wait few minutes to finish the job. it took me arount 12 minutes to clone the hd with nothing extra in xbox hd ( no games, apps, movies only the orinal files) and F:\ drive formatted. If you have more stuff in ur xbxo hd it will take more time.
make sure your new hd is unlocked first and then locked when you are done by the following method.

You will see this screen:
write "lockhd" or "unlockhd" and press enter to lock or unlock you hard drive. make sure you have eeprom.bin in linux>eeprom folder.
DONT FORGET TO LOCK YOUR HD BEFORE YOU SHUTDOWN XBOX
