Well I did a little research and I think it is a hard drive error .... foud one guy that said to start my xbox and when the xbox logo comes on pull out my Av cord then wait a few seconds and put it back in........ and what do you know it worked

E68 Fixes
1) If you recently used it with a computer you might have got a faulty security sector or so.. Game Save Mods ect.. Use a ConResigner to make all sectors match.
2) Replace your harddrive.
3) Unplug/Plug A/V Cable

This error occurs when your harddrive is defective, it might still work sometimes.... It can also happen because of a bad eeprom or a wrong security sector. It can also be a problem with the internal connection of the harddrive to the mainboard...


Hope this helps anyone who gets an error code. There all mostly right im going to post this so we can get an accurate Error Code list on here in a separate post, I will name it Xbox 360 E-Codes.

The E-code only shows up if you get 1 red light, otherwise there is no video output and you cant see it(for 2, 3 and 4 red lights)...(in rare cases it doesnt even show up if you get 1 red light, proceed with the secondary error code then)
An E-code consist out of 3 letters, it always starts with an E that is followed by two numbers, for example your error code would be E74.

The specific type of hardware failure can be determined by a "hidden" error code
Turn the xbox 360 on, and wait till the 3 red lights are flashing.
Press and hold the sync up button (the small white one), while holding that button press the eject button.
The LEDs will now blink the first number in the code (as described below).
Release the eject button and press it again.
The LEDs will now blink the second number of the code.
Release the eject button and press it again.
The LEDs will now blink the third number of the code.
Release the eject button and press it again.
The LEDs will now blink the forth number of the code.
Release the eject button and press it again.
The LEDs will go back to the 3 red flashing lights.
You should be able to determine the difference between the 3 flashing lights and the error code lights by the rate in which they flash.

Here is how you interpret the LEDs to get the code number:
All four lights flashing - 0
One light flashing - 1
Two Lights flashing - 2
Three lights flashing - 3

You will for example get an error code like 0102 if you get 4 lights after the first click, 1 after the second, 4 after the third and 2 after the fourth click of the eject button...
