Hard Drive Creates E 68 Whenever Attached
« on: September 29, 2008, 11:40:00 PM »

My 360 works totally fine with the hard drive unplugged. As soon as i plug it in i get e 68. I tried the jumper fix to no avail.  Any thoughts are appreciated.

It's not possible to hook it up to my pc and rewrite the file structure or anything?  I really doubt its physically broken.

You can hook it up to the PC and try it but I doubt that this will work out...
And first lend a second harddrive from someone else to make sure that your issue is not Southbridge related or just use your harddrive with another 360...

Is there any info on how to rewrite the file structure on this HD with the correct specifications in case it comes to that?

There is no way to do that. If it was an issue with the file structure or partitions, it wouldn't be detected, or detected as empty. E68 is a hardware error, the drive is likely physically damaged.
