Only way is to get the old motherboard working at least so FlashBIOS will load (you can then unlock the HDD from there), or contacting someone who can remove and read the EEPROM data from the chip - this can be used to unlock the drive also.

Another option is to read the tutorials on xbox-scene.com to find out how to recover or unlock a xbox hd with a dead motherboard. This is not an easy process, but very possible. Good luck
