    Problems with an Xbox hard drive


    My family has had this Xbox hard drive for a few years now. Saved data, DLC, pictures, games. You name it, it was on the hard drive. One day however, the drive just... stopped working. the light wouldn't come on no matter what we tried. My brother and I decided to unplug it and leave it for a few days to see what would happen because this is how we solved most issues like this one. It didn't work this time, so we had given up for a while until today. When I plugged it into the Xbox One this morning, it had lit up as if it was working, but the hard drive was not showing up in the storage devices. So I decided to try my luck on the PC, and the PC was reading it as a device. I still cannot access the files on the drive to transfer them to a better working one however and was wondering how to do that.

    :)

    Hard Drive Not Recognised

    Hi, the problem is that you configured the hard drives as xbox USB storage devices, this will have removed information the console needs to distinguish an xbox hard drive from a USB hard drive. In essence this now means you can't use the hard drives as
    xbox hard drives again.

    Hard drive not recognised

    I see two possibilities then, the data on the hard drive has been corrupted somehow, or the Xbox is no longer able to detect hard drives any more. I would recommend getting your Xbox repaired, but in the meantime is there another Xbox you could put your
    hard drives in to see if it is a problem with your Xbox, or if it is a problem with the hard drives?

    Some of my friends are having the same problem with the 20GB hard drive and an original XBOX 360 but my other friends with an original XBOX 360 with a 60GB hard drive and up do not have this problem... I assume it's the hard drive?

    e68 error

    It could be a problem with the Hard Drive itself or a problem with the internal connection to the hard drive, Try removing the hard drive and playing without it.

    If this works, then it's your harddrive. Install the harddrive back in your xbox and try again.

    Xbox original games on 360

    The most common problem is either with the game and/or the hard drive.

    For example, some original xbox games are able to be played.

    The problem with the hard drive is the it can only play original xbox games if your xbox has a Microsoft brand hard drive.

    If you still have a problem keeping posting on this or a new thread :)
