Xbox 360 HDD E68

Post by gerryb10 »

Hi,

I bought this xbox 360 20gb harddrive of ebay, upon recieving it didn't work just kept giving e68 on three different xbox's. So I opened it up and it all looks fine theres a video I took just to show what its doing . Anyone with any comments would be much appreciated.

this is from the error code list
E68: Hard Drive 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, This can also be caused by a Hard Drive Eprom Error. Some also believe this might be caused by a problem with the fans.


man
i have never seen some one use a 5.25 hard drive on a 360
the ones that i know of use a laptop hard drive.
even then there is one kind in particular that you should use.
as far as i know.
ive not messed with the hard drive stuff much

emmm....
Did you see the video? I removed this harddrive from the hard drive case for the 360. The xbox is fine without the hard drive but its the hardrive I want to fix.

sorry about that after you zoom inb it look big. :D :D

i would think its a Hard Drive Eprom Error.i know you have to have the right file on the HD, for a different HD to work on your console
like i said im not the best with the hard drive stuff

I bought another harddrive off ebay for that xbox in the video and it worked fine, but that harddrive in the vifeo won't work for any of three xbox's that i have so it must be something else also when I try to connect it my computer it just freezes up the computer?
