The bios on the chip is probably the free, non ms-hacked bios image. You need to flash the chip with a different bios image. After the chip is installed, you can do it via a disk or ftp (network connection). It isn't really hard at all.

Upgrading the HDD can be tricky, especially if you have already gone on xbox live and plan on doing so in the future with that xbox. It just involves backing up your current hard-drive files, formatting and partitioning the new harddrive, installing the files you backed up onto the new drive, and locking it again. All this can be done with evox. As for using it with xbox live...you will need to look into that because it requires much more work. I have never personally done it nor had the need to.
