If it doesn't load to the dash or if it spews out an error then no, you'll need dash access to TSOP it.

What happens if you put a retail disc in the tray?
Does it boot to the game?
Was it previously softmodded?

Try booting it via the Eject button, see if it boots up in the softmod menu.

A modchip isn't the only solution he could also read his eeprom and make a new hdd.

Reading the EEPROM isn't for the average user.

If you can temporarily transplant the chip over then yeh.
Solder some wires and you're good to go.
Keep in might that it might need an LPC rebuilt.

He said he's sure that it isn't a 1.6.

Quite sure isn't 100% certainty.
Better to say it before hand then having to explain afterwards.

how would I go about hotswaping do i hotswap which hdd to which xbox?

Hotswap you do with a PC.
You basically quickly swap the IDE cable from the Xbox to HDD to HDD -> PC.
That way it is possible to read the drive contents.
But idk if your drive is unlocked at the point of it being stuck or not.

You can't softmod without a usb stick or memory card.
