Just fixed my Red Ring of Death, but only works without HDD

So I just finished fixing my Xbox 360, and I finally brought it back to life using the RROD Fix Kit this site sold to me.

However, there is one problem

My Xbox only works when it runs without the Hard Drive. For some reason, whenever I plug my Hard Drive in and start it up, the Xbox reverts back to the RROD. But, when I take it out and start it up again, it runs just fine.

So anyways, why is this happening? Do you guys think it's a problem with how I reassembled it? (I did go back in and checked to see if something was wrong. Everything looked fine), or is the Hard Drive just thinking that it still has the RROD?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

That's strange. The hard drive probably isn't a problem, unless you damaged it somehow while it was removed. Look at this webpage, and scroll down half the page to where it says "SECONDARY ERROR CODES" Run the console with the hard drive connected, and use the secondary error code guide to find out what the error code for your console is, and post it. That way, I can try to figure out what's going wrong.

E68. Works without Hard Drive, like it has been ever since I finished fixing it.

Try looking around the motherboard for towards the hard drive connector for any damage, or anything that could be shorting out a connection in that area. Also, try re-moving the RROD fix kit, then reinstall it. Don't reinstall the little heat-sinks that go on the smaller chips around the board. Put it all back together, and give it another try.
