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 i

Even less with actually ways how to fix it. Some are even trying to charge you for a book on how to fix it. Well I’m xbox 360 going to provide you with the actual solution (At least what worked for me) on how to resolve this error. All with out opening your 360 or having to deal with Microsoft.Please bear with me as this will get a little winded but I think it’s important you know all the details leading up to me FINALLY (I hope) getting this resolved.I have a first gen\year 360 with a Sammy xbox 360 system M25 drive (Flashed with iXtream v1.51). Over the three years that I’ve owned it, never has it ever RROD’ed until now. The first time it happened I 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.

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
