When I turned on my Xbox 360 this morning, it came up with an error code (Error E 68), after that when I turned on my Xbox, my profile had disappeared from the main screen and was listed as corrupted. I did a Google search and found how to fix it if you're on Xbox Live, however I am not on Xbox Live. Surely there's another solution which doesn't require your profile to be on Xbox Live?
Please help!
I have heared that if you just delete the profile, just the profile, everything will be just fine (note: This only works if your profile is on xbox live).
Just go to memor, then go into the saving device the corrupted profile is on. Then "click" on the botton that says profile and delete the corrupted profile. Remember; the profile will be a small save and not taking up most of your harddrive, look for something with MB size, not GB size. When you have done this, go to "recover gamertag" and do so for the profile you just deleted. After all this, your game saves and achivements should be present and working.
E68 is a voltage error. That means that the Xbox has insufficient power to function
properly. This can be caused by an error in the hard drive, the internal cooling fans
or the main board using too much power. it can also be caused if you
have attached an external cooling unit. Unplug the hard drive and any other external hardware then try to power on again to see if you get the same message. Check your power supply to make sure the light is green when you power up. If it is not green it is a power supply issue, make sure it is plugged directly into the wall, no extension cords or power supplies. If you do that and it is still red change the power supply. If the light is green and you still have the issue contact microsoft. If you are under warranty they will fix it for free and if not they will fix it for generally 99.00. You lost your profile due to the power issue. Your profile is saved on flash memory and the power issue probably corrupted the memory. Fix the power issue then reset to factory default and you should be good.

Corupted profile
OK when everything vanishes like your gamer picture, your rep, your gamer score, achievements, everything but your friends, then you can do this, all you do is keep the corrupted file, then just recover the gamer tag, all that's it go through the process and gamer tag and everything is back to normal
Can't save profile at all on xbox360 i can make one but then i shut the unit off an its not there when i turn it back on
What if i just delete the profile off my harddrive, and just recover my account?
Ok when I try to recover gamer tag, it send me to a screen that says "To create or recover and Xbox Live gamertag, you must have and xbox 360 device." DUH!
Well ive been researching almost the same problem when i take my xbox 360 pro 60GB hard drive and put it into my xbox 360 elite my profile and game memory all say corrupted i dont know why this is exactly but the solution i've been looking for appears to be and xbox 360 data transfer kit/cable one end is a usb which obviously goes into the usb port the other end has a hard drive connection in which i can put my old hard drive in it comes with some cd thing so i've read that it's required i dont know if this will work however since i haven't received the cable/kit yet.

My profile will not save anything and i cant do anything on my xbox live profile
I dont believe that is correct, my xbox just stopped working one night. Displayed error 68. And hasn't stopped since. The hard drive is the issue. My xbox has been running nothing out of the usual, just one night, I played, turned it all off nice and correctly, next day, nothing, didn't work. It is impossible for something to suddenly start drawing more current than is needed for no reason, it has no physical errors, I've opened it up and checked, it still starts fine. This is a software issue. I was easily able to copy my profile information etc from the broken hard drive, using the cable that comes with the 120 GB upgrade HDD - so I believe it is an issue with the system segment of the drive, the 6 GIG you can't use - maybe its a ploy to make you buy the upgrade, I've noticed thousands of people with the 20 GIG drive doing this, none with the 120 GIG, and all happened with no apparent issue...
AND your profile was not stored in FLASH memory. The HDD is a small laptop drive, SATA to be exact... not a flash memory unit. It became corrupt maybe due to an error writing your profile files to the HDD, could be because the xbox took a knock while it was saving, someone turned it off... number of reasons why.
When I turned on my xbox 360 it took a long time to load and when it did my profile was listed as corrupt. First I tried restarting my 360 then I tried login in and out. I deleted the profile and made a new one in the same name but I still can't use my saves or achivements.
I've had this same problem, even with the 120 GB HDD.
