E102 after replacing dead hard drive, os version is latest

The internal "hard drive" on a 4GB console is not really a "hard drive" per se, but rather flash memory.

On the original release versions, this was attached to a riser card. On later versions of the S and all versions of the E this was part of the same NAND that the system OS is on.

If it is showing as unformatted, that means the NAND chip is failing. It will work for awhile, but eventually the part containing the system OS will become corrupted and unreadable. The only option is to replace the console at that point.

If it is still under warranty, get it replaced ASAP.

Hi,

DirectX is part of the Windows OS and can't be re-installed. DirectX12 is 100% BC with all previous versions of the API, you can't downgrade to a lower version and you don't need to anyway.

I see you've upgraded your graphics card, but your old i7 960 would be quite a bottleneck. It will work, but your CPU won't be able to keep up with your GPU, at least on titles that have been released in the last 5-6+ years.

Did you ever replace your OS drive? That 10 year old hard drive could be on the way out now, especially if it's an older mechanical HDD.

I suggest a new drive or drives. A 1TB SSD would be a good option for the OS, although you'd have to go for a SATA SSD for your old computer. Reinstall the OS by downloading the latest version using the Windows 10 creation tool and allowing the tool to make a bootable Flash drive.

This is will insure that you get the latest 2021H2 version of the OS.

Im having same issue with this new OS Version 19041.1999. It has my Xbox giving E102 error and I just turned it off. I need that update ASAP.

Doing this most likely invalidates the warranty, plus I do not believe there is a built in system to rebuild the OS back onto the replaced hard drive, so replacing the hard drive you would not be able to reload the OS.

Also this is not an officially support procedure.
