E79 Is Not A Hd Issue
« on: May 15, 2007, 09:06:00 PM »

I have a 360 here that has no HD and its showing E79.
I took out the DVD and then it shows E71.

THe funny thing is that when i pull out the DVD. Then plug the power brick in and boot it. It boots. then turn it off and the second time it comes up with E71.
I pulled the power again and reinstalled the DVD and it botted a game and worked. Then turn it off and back on and get E79.

Whats with the second boot failure thing?

could it be a SATA issue? Is that the MICROSOFT Chip near the dvd drive? The sata connectors seem to run traces to that.
