    Xbox 360 S won't detect hard drive


    I recently encountered an error screen that had the number E 68. Naturally I took to the internet with the question which led me to the forum that had an apparent fix. I followed the steps which involved removing my hard drive and the issue was fixed,
    yet now my console is completely useless as my hard drive isn't recognized...

    Xbox 360 S won't detect hard drive

    Hi bvnk,

    So based on your description it seems that your Xbox 360 is not recognizing your hard drive anymore. Which model of Xbox 360 do you have? The white one with the external hard drive at the top or the other models with the internal hard drive?

    If you turn off and remove the power cord for a few minutes and try again it may work.

    If it doesn't then it may be the hard drive that needs to be replaced by if you have a UDB of at least 4 Gb then you can try formatting it and see if your Xbox picks it up.

    Issues with transferring data from Xbox 360 20GB HD to Xbox 360 Slim HD via computer.

    Nope, you cannot transfer data from the 20GB drive to the Slim drive on the PC. This process can only be done on the Xbox 360. Please also remember not to format the storage devices on the PC as it will make your hard drives essentially paper weights by
    doing so. The Xbox 360 has a very specific formatted file system structure, if the console detects anything is changed it will either not read the hard drive or detect it as a USB which you won't be able to solve using any sort of tools provided by Microsoft.

    The use of 3rd party tools on Microsoft Xbox 360 hard drives is a violation of the terms of use.

    3TB hard drive for media won't format

    Seagate makes trash drives. They're cheap, and they have problems all the time. Not just with Xboxes, but in general. If you have a drive over 2 TB, you can partition it properly, and have the 360 detect it. Make sure that your sector size is the same as
    the 360's (I believe it was 512, although I'm mistaken). Even if you format it the right file system and your sector size is wrong, your 360 won't detect it.

    Hard Drive Help!

    When you say you bought a new one, was it a hard drive similar to your old one, or one of the newer model hard drives. If it was one of the newer model hard drives, then that is why it wont work. The older model xbox 360's won't recognise them.
