How to Fix Error E68 on a Seagate

Your Xbox 360 video game console has an internal hard drive manufactured by Seagate or another hard drive company. If your game console does not turn on fully and displays a single red light on the power button, your hard drive may be seated incorrectly, damaged or completely unusable. You may need to swap out this hard drive for a replacement drive or attempt to check the drive installation for problems.

Things You'll Need

Canned air

Instructions

- 1
  Turn off your Xbox 360 after the E68 error occurs. Disconnect both parts of the power adapter and reconnect it to the system. Remove any peripherals and memory cards. Wait 30 seconds and turn the console back on to determine if the problem is a one-time occurrence or a possible hardware failure.

  Turn off your console. Press the hard drive release button on the top of the system. Pull up on the hard drive enclosure, located to the left of the hard drive button, to remove the drive from your 360. Turn on the console. If you do not get a red flashing light or the error code, the problem is with your hard drive.
