Xbox 360 Hard Drive
was trying to play a copy of Red Faction: Guerrilla. As the game started to load, it froze a bit like it was trying to do some type of update. Then when the title screen tried to load up, the colours looked a bit off and the game just hung. Strange, so I rebooted it and then to my horror a black screen with white text came up saying that there was an E79 error. After some checking up on line I found out that it was most likely caused by a dashboard error, xam.xex could not start, file system corruption OR problem with the hard drive. One of the so called solutions was to power off the 360 and hold down the sync up button (The small white one) and press the power button to turn on the console. The sync up button must stay held down until the console boots up completely. This is to clear and failed updates. Well after 10min of hold it down it wasn’t booting up at all. I powered it off and back on, RROD.I couldn’t believe it! More on line searching. Tried booting it up with out the hard drive attached, still RROD (Three red lights). Found out that I could clear all installed game updates and console cache (Does not effect game saves) by going to system, Select "memory", Press Y on the HD sym

The system now boots up (I get the green lights starting at quadrant 1 and rolling through to 4) but displays an E79 error on screen, with lower right quad flashing 1 red light. The E79 is supposidly related to a hard drive malfunction.... however I have NO hard drive connected at the moment... I've xbox 360 visually checked the hard drive connector attached to the xbox, and it seems like its in good condition (no bent pins). Any advice would be helpful, thanks!

If this isn't a jtag, I've never heard of E79 otherwise. Usually related to a corrupted Nand. e79 error fix Modking30, Sep 5, 2010 #2 BillB Regular member Joined: May 9, 2003 Messages: 546 Likes Received: 0 Trophy Points: 26 Modking30 said: E68 is a hard drive issue, not E79.

Make sure those wires are not grounding on anything. BillB, Sep 5, 2010 #3 AssKlown Regular member Joined: Mar 9, 2010 Messages: 178 Likes Received: 0 Trophy Points: 26 nope not a jtag system.... I did get it to boot once by holding down the sync button as I booted it, and was able to check dashboard revision (8455 I believe) but it froze before I could even get a game in it... secondary code while showing E79 was 1013.. which was listed as a dashboard update error... so thats when I held down the sync and booted, and got it to the dash..

The E79 error code indicates that your Xbox 360 has either a corrupted file system or a hard drive problem. Seeing as you have checked the HDD and confirmed it is functional, I'm thinking it might be a software/NAND chip based problem. Two questions; Have you installed any system updates recently? And is E79, the only error code that is showing up? Two possible solutions that I have found, in regards to software are; Clearing any failed system updates that could have caused the error: To do this, simply press and hold the sync up button, when the console is switched off (on the 360 S, it is the button, next to the USB ports). Then, turn on then console while holding that button. Continue holding it until the console has completely booted up and the dashboard appears. The console would've automatically cleared any failed system updates during the boot process. Or, if you can get to the dashboard (try doing so without the HDD) try re installing the System Update (if you have recently done one) that possibly might have caused this: To do this, go into System Settings > Memory > then hit in this order: Left Bumper, Right Bumper, X, Left Bumper, Right Bumper, X > Yes. If this doesn't fix it, I'll have a larger dig around for a solution, hopefully after some sleep. Non the less, I do hope it h
