Why did this happen?!?

Question

Okay so for xmas my gma bought us a XBOX 360 arcade and you know it comes without the hard drive, so 1 week ago I bought a USED hard drive from Gamestop and put it on everything was working perfectly, I even downloaded the halo 3 maps :D and it had been two days since I put it on and was using it, all of the sudden I turn it on and I have a red ring!!! But then I took off the hard drive and it went away?

What just happened?

Answer 1

This problem occurs when your hard drive is corpuppted. There is no fixing it, the problem is with your HDD, you have to buy a new one. Actually you SHOULD take it back to the game store and tell them it's faulty, since it coruppted so quickly. But this is a common problem, it has nothing to do with your 360.

Answer 2

sorry to tell you but if your hard drives the problem i say you return it to gamesto if u still have the return back thing and if that doesnt work call 1-800-4myxbox and then tell them your hard drive gave your xbox the red rings hopefully they will replace it for you for free

Answer 3

the reason you got the RRoD only when your HDD is inserted is because the data on your HDD is corrupted. Do not worry, though. After you return it or do whatever you will with it, you can recover your account and then download everything again without having to pay for it again.
