Ok so i bought an xbox arcade, then a 60gb hdd. When i attach the bloddy HDD, Halo 3 wont even let me start the campaign (disc read error) and virtual fighter 5 will give the same error every half hour. If i remove the HDD, everything works. What gives ?

From microsoft support :
1. Turn off your console.
2. Remove the hard drive.
3. Turn on your console.
4. Try to play a game disc.
If this resolves the problem, reattach the hard drive and contact Xbox Support to order a replacement hard drive.

But, after more searching i find out that many users have had problems with halo 3 giving that error. So my question is. Whats faulty ? The HDD, the game or the console ?
What to do ?

its cache error ,do a maintenance mode to clear DVD pre read cache ... if this will not help, format HDD your on your 360 and then test it

had the same error on my elite with a 120gig drive , maintenance mode helped but on my daughters arcade only a hard format did the trick

ps.maintenance mode also removes your patches from your hdd

I had the E68 a couple of times when I did some HDD modding, I think it's caused by the HDD not being attached properly. Worst case, open up its case and make sure the connectors sit properly.

Can't help you with your Disc unreadable error :/
