Unlock OG Xbox emulator without modding?

[EvilJagaGenius]

I recently got a fat Xbox 360 at a garage sale and don't know much about hacking and homebrew for it, using consolemods.org for reference. I was thinking about upgrading the HDD and read about adding the OG Xbox emulator, and unlocking it if you have a modded system. This Xbox isn't modded though, and I'm wondering if it's possible to unlock the emulator without modding it. From what I understand, the OG Xbox emulator lives on HDD partition 2. The HDD Fixer each guide recommends writes to/creates partition 2, then the user copies compatibility files into partition 2 as well. So I'm wondering:

1) Could I load a hacked partition 2 onto the HDD and copy the compatibility files into it from my PC, while I'm setting the HDD up?
2) Would this be enough to unlock the emulator, or would I need a modded XBox 360 to use it?
3) Would this be liable to get me banned?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, like I said I know very little about X360 hacking.

1. yes
2. yes
3. very unlikely. if you buy a legit hdd, you won't have this problem, but a normal hdd must be a wd scorpio up to 500GBs as that's the only ss.bin we have.

You won't get banned as long as the hard drive is the same size as an official one and from what I remember the ss.bin files only allows you to create them of official sizes. I put a modded 250gb in mine years ago and it has not yet been banned. The drive also has to be a BEVS model, others may work but I do not think all Scorpio drives are compatible.
