make sure your motherboard is screwed all the way down and that the shell is on when you're trying to use your harddrive or else it could be flexing the whole motherboard

make sure there isnt any debris in the HDD connector. more than likely something is bridging two pins and is causing it to screw up.

i looked and there is no visible debris that i could find and where are the pins in the hdd conector that could be bridging?

well any of the little slots that are in the HDD connector is what im referring to, could be on the 360 side, or on the HD itself.

could be an issue where the HDD connector is soldered to the MOBO itself then.

sounds like you have a dry joint there matey just get the soldering iron out and just touch up the HDD connector point on the board

Try resoldering the joints. E68 is a HD error. Or just dump the drive and use USB thumb drive for game saves

The HDD connector is on the top of the board.
The joints that need soldering are directly underneath it on the bottom of the board.
Take a low watt soldering iron place it on each point (1 at a time) for about 3 seconds to reflow the solder in the HDD joints.
