My hard drive is not working on my XBox 360, everything is plugged in and its saying that I need to make a new account. Before this happend the XBox kept freezing.

You may have an old series console version of the Xbox 360 that only has either 256MB or 512MB of internal memory. You may also have a new series console version of the Xbox 360 that only has 4GB or data storage. For multi-disk games that install one or more disks, you need, at minimum, a 20GB hard drive installed in your console. You will need to invest in a hard drive for your Xbox 360.

In this process your hard drive will be formatted, so back up all files to another hard drive, laptop, or be prepared to lose everything on your hard drive. After you have backed everything up, plug your hard drive into an Xbox 360 then go 'My Xbox/System Settings/Memory.Select 'USB Storage Device/Configure Now' then accept the warning.After the formatting is complete a Performance Warning box will appear, click 'OK.' Now in the 'Storage Devices' screen you should see a new option 'Memory Unit.' This shows that the formatting was successful. Disconnect your hard drive, then connect it to your laptop, load on some media (makes sure the file types are compatible), then reconnect it to your Xbox 360. Your selected media should not appear under 'Portable Device' in the Video/Music/Picture Library.

it is most likely your AV. Unplug power to power supply and Xbox and un plug AV cord. Let it sit for 15 Minutes and the plug everything back up and see if that corrects the problem if that doesnt repair problem google xbox360RROD... or search what do the red lights on Xbox 360 mean. Keep searching you will find what you are looking for eventually.

thats crazy first thing i would do it unhook everything from the 360 completely hard drive and all leave it sitting for about 15 -30 seconds then plug everything in but the hard drive see how it starts up then if it starts up alright now turn it off and blow on the hardrive plug and put it on and try it with the hard drive and if all this works then im glad i could help leave me some feedback pls

Try going to your memory on your xbox highlight the hard drive and Press Y on the hard drive symbol and then press the following: X,X,Left Bumper, Right Bumper, X,X. then select yes this will clear any game updates they will have to be re-updated

try this. unplug everything (power cord, av cables, wireless adapter, controllers) and take off the hard drive. dont plug anything in for about 1-2 minutes. when the time is up, put the hard drive on first then plug everything else in.

This sound like your hard drive took a ****. But before we count out the Hard drive your BIOS battery may have just died. If your warrenty is still vallid then maybe XBOX can help but if it is out then try replaceing the BIOS battery first. This would be the cheapest way. If you are uncertain what the bios battery looks like it is a flat battery that is about the size of a quarter. After you have replaced the battery and there is still no change then the next thing I would recomend is replaceing you hard drive.

its not the account just the hard drive. make a new xbox live account.

the problem lies within your hard drive. first thing youll have to do is perform a matenince on the hard drive. to perform this you must go into settings, memory, select your hard drive, then enter the following code... LB LB X X RB RB... it will say are you sure you want tot perform this. select yes... when this is done and the games still dont work, you'll have to format your hard drive. and after youve done that and they still dont work, you'll then have to buy a new hard drive

i wouldn't think you would have to re-register if your profile account is still saved. your membership as well. just give it a try and see. good luck : )
