Okay so my friend thought there was something seriously wrong with his X-Box
because of the Green/Orange light. So he sold the hard drive to someone and
gave the rest to me for free. Well I hooked it up and wiggled the A/V cord
around and the lights no longer come up but now I'm getting the Green/Red
which I know means there is a serious problem. I just want to know if this
is because I haven't replaced the HardDrive and how would I do that?

I would think it needs the hard drive to at least boot the darned dashboard.

Without the hard drive in the Xbox, your going to get an error code because
it can't load the software. Now if the Xbox was originally broken, or if it
wasn't (just a loose connection) doesn't really matter because the hard
drive is gone. To get that Xbox functional you will need to replace both
the motherboard and hard drive (Microsoft locks them together for a security
check) unless you install a mod chip (on a motherboard that might not work)
either way your looking at $60-80 to get the Xbox running.
