    E68 error with old hard drive and now a new hard drive.


    Previous post: http://forums.xbox.com/xbox_forums/xbox_support/xbox_360_support/f/7/t/1903701.aspx

    I got a E68 error this week. Followed the instructions for this (Error Code E68 and one red light when you use your Xbox 360) , removed my old hard drive and the
    Xbox worked fine. Reinserted the old hard drive and once again I got an E68 error.

    The instructions above indicated I probably had a bad hard drive. I ordered a brand new hard drive today, when I installed it once again I got another E68 error. Is this likely a problem with the Xbox itself or is there something I'm missing? Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Sent in console for repairs and still not fixed

    The E68 error message is an error code for hard drive failure. There is nothing wrong with your xbox, the hard drive has gone kaput. Only way to fix that is to go and get a new one and pop it in, problem solved.

    And no, you cannot save the data off the bad drive and attempt to transfer it over to the new one, if your drive is in such bad shape that it is giving off the E68 error code, there's no recovering it. On the bright side it will make for a good paperweight
    or door stopper...

    E68 Error on 250Gb HDD

    Hi there,

    -

    When ever a hard drive is causing a E68 error, it's unlikely that any save files on that hard drive can be recoverd by any supperted ways.

    As mentioned on the link
    support.xbox.com/.../error-codes     which describes the E68 error, the only thing to do is to get a different hard drive.

    E68 is a hard drive error as you probably know.

    probably the only way to fix it is to get the correct hard drive for your machine.

    E:68 error on xbox 360

    Try removing your Hard Drive. If it boots up without it, then your drive is pretty much garbage. If your console still doesn't boot, then try your Hard Drive in another console.
