Fixes for Error Code e68

Good Day, Tried some solutions listed under a different post but that was abandoned and the fixes did not work.

The fix that DID NOT work for me was unplugging the console's AV/HDMI cord, starting the console, waiting 15 seconds, then plugging in that cord. Please let me know this this works for you.

Please list any other fixes you find and I will try to update this as I find solutions that work

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hey ArandomHitman, Thanks for the reply.

Uninstalling the hard drive got the system to boot, which I think isolates the problem to the hard drive. Only issue now is finding a suitable replacement and trying to scour the old, dying/dead hard drive for game saves and other data... I need to head to a store to try to find a way to get this drive connected to a computer, then well see the damage. Will Update.

Great, glad you got a solution. Feel free to let me know if it all works out.

@arandomhitman As I told the other Tom; Hooked up the HDD, Heard is spin up, opened up FATXplorer (another forums suggestion) and no joy. Searching for a replacement

What is curious is that it's appearing in Disk Managament as "Unknown" and is prompting to initalize, im assuming the security isnt allowing me to view the goodies inside.

All you tried are totally irrelevant. E68 is HDD/southbridge related.

Try removing the HDD then boot first.

Your console will not recognize generic hard drives for its internal drive slot, only ones specifically programmed for it will work.

I removed the HDD and she booted up.

Hooked up the HDD to my computer and used this program i found while searching other forums called "FATXplorer" but no avail. Safe to say the HDD is dead.

Any idea on where to replace this HDD in the modern day?

@apollofixes Find one of those original 360 drives on sale, or those WD drives modified 360 drives.
